Here is the statement from tiktok saying that it is united states specific

https://newsroom.tiktok.com/announcement-from-the-new-tiktok-usds-joint-venture-llc?lang=en

Welcome and I hope you have as good a time as I have had here, I am still very much in the learning theory as my backing stage because I still have only read the most basic of theory but everyone here has been amazing if I ask any questions including what I now realize are incredibly stupid basic ones

Anyways hope you have a good time and a safe place to be in the chaos that is going on (both the long time should have been expected and the surprises )

I live in the south east united states and I still have family saying that the protests are too much and we should just vote

Then again these are the same people telling me I would be happier if I didn't look at the news because the human brain is only supposed to worry about the problems of a small group of people

This is basically what my boss had when I worked as an electrician but you are short the laser pointer to vaguely gesture at whatever the fuck we are supposed to be working on so it could be that but I could also see a few other things

In school I basically didn't get told america ever did wrong anywhere to anyone also basically learned nothing about the Korean war or any other war post ww2 and even that era I didn't learn about the fire bombings and such until I was much older

Idk why you got banned but critically studying and comparing theory doesn't seem like it could be a bad thing

I dont think that being banned from .Ml is any more a reason to read theory than anything else though

I thought the entire point of the communism bad stuff was to make it as over the top and insane as possible as a criticism of the anti communist narrative but that may have just been my interpretation

Especially things like liberty prime just being so obviously insane

The fact that I had to actually check what else this site put out to figure out it was satire is insane

I Didn't know you could either, I am gonna do the same

Not too much, I just felt the need to clarify because I realized it could be misinterpreted as me being against something I in no way am against

This comment is to clear up some miscommunication I believe I may have not stated clearly in my post that I am now noticing

1. I dont have a problem with the more "authoritarian" communists

2. I was just curious how the term expanded from it's original meaning

3.I don't have a problem being called a tankie but I was curious why I kept having the term be used when I was not referring to something that seemed like fit the older versions of the term and did not involve the USSR at all

Still haven't gotten my first check in the mail so when you figure out how to put in your information with them please tell me
