Can't wait for Hexbear or Lemmygrad to show up and explain how it's a good thing she was shot for trying to escape their utopia.
I’m all for socialism but Jesus Christ the amount of apologia for totalitarianism I’ve seen from those types… like are they self aware?
I really don't think they're sincere. I suspect it's from the CCP and Kremlin trying to fuel both ends of the spectrum and create division.
Tankies: "The workers should seize the means of production!"
[workers seize the means of production in Russia, Anarchist Ukraine, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Czechoslovakia]
Tankies: "No, not like that, give it here"
Clearly he was a reactionary capitalist dog and he deserved it. /s
"Well, he was obviously an undesirable in our egalitarian utopia, anyway."
"Let him go, then."
"Never! He must be SHOT!"
That's the kind of classic willful huge blind spot in their half-baked regurgitations. Any "undesirables" in a society where all are supposed to be equal. And that is no "capitalist billionaire pig" tragically attempting to flee in that photo. You need some huge, grotesque mental gymnastics to disregard and dismiss images such as this one.
It is downright cringe to see some of these clowns post stuff supporting communism. I mean I get it that capitalism has issues, but these pro-communist folks are hilariously embarrassing.
