Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
- No bigotry of any kind.
- No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
- No genocide denial
We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.

The context of the statements gets shown better in The Death of Stalin.
When you can get purged at any time by the state, you say things like this because prison time can quickly turn into a death sentence if you say the wrong thing
"Long live Stalin!" [bang]
At some point, you have to realize that bootlickers really just love the boot that much.
Plenty of GULAG memoirs recount that most people were not licking the boot like that - the people who were already processed and in the camps but still talking like that were true believers - or true sycophants, if there's a difference in this case.
