The fun thing about this meme is that you can swap capitalism and vanguard communism. And it's just as true.

Yeah, tankies occupy roughly the same area on the authoritarianism axis of the political compass as fascists and are thus not to be trusted no matter how much you might agree with them on anticapitalism 🤷

Yep, I'd rather agree with someone on liberty, and let socialism prove itself economically. Than agree economically but have to fight for others to be allowed access or liberty.

It is the heart of US policy, ladies and gentlemen, to use fascism to preserve vanguard communism? Huh?

[-] Eldritch@piefed.world 2 points 4 days ago

No, vanguard communism uses fascist capitalism as a bogeyman. The same way fascist capitalists use vanguard communism as a bogeyman. As a cover for both their genocides and imperialism.

The meme is correct but ironically funny it works when both subjects are swapped.
