    I don’t know what everyone’s complaining about. I found this funny and it reminded me of the television program entitled, “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.”

      This is real. It’s also one reason why laws against gay sex were on the books in many states until finally overturned by the Supreme Court in 2003 in Lawrence v Texas. Sometimes police would use the laws directly, but more commonly since gay sex was considered a criminal activity, landlords would use it as an excuse to deny lgbt people housing or evict them.

      This isnt even propaganda.

      How does this post try to persuade someone into thinking that the USSR was justified in using tanks to crush a revolution or to support Marxism-Leninism and not anti-authoritarian leftists, including anarchists, libertarian socialists, left communists, democratic socialists, and reformists(who commonly use “tankie”)

      It isnt even anticapitalist propaganda because it wasnt made to persuade anyone. It doesnt present any arguments against capitalism, its just a meme about someones opinion of capitalism

        Ah yes, the anti authoritarian anarchists like the Ukrainian Free State, a military dictatorship that enabled pogroms against Jewish people in their territories.

        The marxist leninists were in practice a lot more anti-authoritian" than the anarchists and other “anti-authoritians” of the time.

        USSR was justified in using tanks to crush a revolution

        1. noted anti-stalinist Khrushchev sent tanks into Hungary

        2. I would also send tanks into Hungary -even if we were close to a peaceful settlement- if I suddenly got reports of soviet government officials and jews being lynched. Revolutions don’t start lynching jews. Counter-revolutions do.

        This happened a decade after the holocaust in a country that the Soviets failed at denazifying as successfully as other Warsaw pact countries. Hungary was an enthusiastic collaborator in the holocaust. You do the math. The vanguard of the true revolution they were not.

          Well, I mean, yeah. I love doing me some communism, yum yum. Makes sense that I talk about it a lot when I’m killing time online.

          Was there a point to what you said?

            They are explicitly complaining that there are several users posting content they don’t enjoy.

            Don’t you know the entire fediverse is supposed to be cultivated to PatFussy’s personal taste?
