the anti-Russia war propaganda on the grounds that "well really, Putin, Assad, Juche, Iran, Cuba, America, the Soviet Union are all equally bad..." and devolves into liberal both-sidesism, I hope you remember that you're responsible for helping axe a principled commitment to anti-US imperialism. I was never being ironic, fuck you and fuck this sub. You idiots made me like Stalin more (who i literally think is bad) because I realize now he was essentially right about social fascism.

I miss u vris plz keep posting in tankie-heaven

Edit: As i'm sobering up I realize I am an old man and should provide some context. There was a time when we were on this evil website called reddit.com and when every chapo was young and hopeful and we all believed Bernie would have won (in 2016) and was going to win in 2020, except for this one poster named vris who was frequently downvoted for being a tankie, even though like all tankies, vris was correct about everything. This was their most famous post, and possibly their last post on the subreddit. Vris was my introduction to Leninism and while not many remember them, a legendary poster.

Hangover edit: vris was also an asshole and did return after this post

    Vris was constantly downvoted for being an asshole, not for being a tankie.

    I am 99% sure vris got unbanned within a week or two by Omhiglob, who came back after a groundless suspension by the reddit admins to unban a bunch of people and ban the two founders of r/stupidpol.

      Stalin was good but, like every socialist leader, we should learn from his mistakes

          Second, he should actually been like the way the history books portray him. He should have had dissenting parties crushed. He should have purged the entire fucking red army

          He should have purged Zhukov as well.

    Cause posts on the internet prevent US imperialism. 🙄 🙄 🙄

      One of the problems that happens on here is that people don’t spend enough time interacting with human beings, and they put wayyyyy too much importance on internet posting. This happens with almost all tendencies.

    Lol honestly fuck you. Anticommunist sandwich prejudice does it again! Just go ahead and fucking bánh mì. As the "anti-tankie" "left" slowly but surely gives into the anti-Vietnam war propaganda on the grounds that "well really, a rice flour baguette, grilled pork, pâté, pickled carrots, cilantro, jalapeños, and aioli are all equally bad..." and devolves into liberal both-sidesism, I hope you remember that you're responsible for helping axe a principled commitment to cuilnary deliciousness. I was never being ironic, fuck you and fuck this sub. You idiots have made me like Ho Chi Minh more (who I literally think is amazing) because I realize now he was essentially right about sandwiches.
