Jesus christ, EVERY FUCKING TIME the subject of tankies comes up its always just "omg red fash" and "China isn't communist" and these people think they're so fucking smart
Lots of baby socialists make this mistake regarding the term "communism". It's a good teaching opportunity to always be cognizant of words having multiple senses, since they are almost always trying to square their idea of communism as a classless, stateless society and communist countries that have both the state and class.
"Well that's obviously wrong too, as the intro to the wiki article on socialism says that socialism is when the workers own the means of production, and that was not the case in the USSR tAnKie!" is the usual dogshit radlib response to that.
I saw a tik tok from a soc dem that made be want to stab my eyes with a fork
Caption was "I'm tired of leftists pretending like China is good"
And then he mocks two types of people (China good person and China bad person) before ultimately concluding that china is complicated and neither good nor bad
Oof! Recognizing that something is more complicated than a simple binary but then immediately jumping to a third option equidistant between the two is peak galaxy brain. Like shit is a complicated evolving and interlocking process, that doesn't mean 50/50 is good! A 50 50 position between piss and cheery-o's just gets piss in your cheery-o's.

Damn, you're so brave and principled for voicing this controversial opinion on Reddit.

It's more likely than you think!
Someone should go say that. I just don't have the patience anymore, and every time I go in to dunk on them, nobody ever replies.
Arguing with Redditors shortens my lifespan so I try to avoid it.
One guy did a Winnie the Pooh comment and the responces are actually pretty funny
Hopefully people dunking on the racism behind it?

"Communist-aspiring countries" doesn't have the same ring to it

:stalin-stressed:
USSR called itself and its allies "socialist countries".

I don't think you can reason with such people.
It's a waste of time really
the average US citizen thinks "leftist" means "democrat" and "communist" means "extreme democrat"
It honestly just pisses me the fuck off. Such diseased brains are among us
such brains are what now... they're.. they're among???? the'yre AMONBGUS? :sus-torment:
Oh fuck
Agreed. Unfortunately anything like that would be lost on most redditers

That is glorious. Good work comrade. My favorite of yours is still the "Dan Crenshaw destroys communism in 10 seconds" one.

It's almost like China is a massive place with lots of moving parts and social groups and binary distinctions about it are over simplifications huh.

The answer is centrism! Yay!
The immortal science of "both sides make good points akshually"
Webster's dictionary defines China as a land of contrasts
ummm this but unironically I guess
That would be a substantial improvement over the linked thread.

Nah, can't be that!
