It’s good that he’s not taking his ESL for granite.

Guess not. Maybe people other than your so called “tankies” can see the writing on the walls.

Why point it out? In admiration?

Ok so it’s something tankies say, why is that a problem? If they said the sky was blue would you say everyone who thinks the sky is blue is a tankie?

EDIT - Just to add, you know who else reacted negatively to communists? You know why the Nazis targetted jews? Or is the irony of using “tankie” as a pejorative and being a fascist lost on you?

That was before WW2, no less. Funny how after all that happened, people saw that and went, “Yeah that was a good idea.”

No, I don’t talk to tankies I don’t think. I genuinely don’t understand why you’d have this reaction to a description of what’s happening.

Just looked up what a “tanky” was, got mixed results, looks like classic red scare communism-phobia to me, lots of people butthurt that Russia beat the Nazis and freed the concentration camps with violence as if that was a mistake. Did it happen some other way then? And all that stuff about Russia and Stalingrad and Berlin is just tankie propaganda? Please.

It is you’ll just make them cum.

Haha this is so awesome, she should tell that one to a trans person being denied healthcare.

I don’t get it though, I don’t even read Marx. The fact that it was Russia and China who stopped fascists last time, and might have to do it again because the West is doing the opposite of stopping fascism, how is that Marxist? It’s literally what happened.

Who do you think will stop them then? Are you counting on Americans to “rise up” like the average German moderate in the 1930’s did?

She’ll be MLK Jr’d before she becomes any sort of real voice. We can’t rely on idolising individuals anymore, that’s what fascists do.

WW2 was between Russians and Germans. All the other stuff was barely a side character subplot compared to the Eastern front.

For example, in the Western front the German forces dealt more casualities to US and UK troops than the Allies did to the Axis by quite a lot too. Reading stories and diaries of American troops they would remark how astonishing it is that their German POWs were all either very young, or very old, either way remarkably unfit for combat. German command in the Western front was in shambles, because the vast majority of their efforts were going to the Eastern front. More Germans died in the battle of Stalingrad alone than in the entirety of the Western front. There were sieges in the Baltics that made Omaha Beach seem like a pretty lucky bet. The Belarusian grassroots genocide by Germans is hardly talked about, yet were just as brutal as they were against jews. The Siege of Leningrad is the type of nightmare fuel, hell on earth that Spielberg would never dream of touching. The West puts so much self importance about their fight against the German Nazi Machine, meanwhile it was the communists who did all the work while Western capitalists profited every step of the way since the beginning. And as you pointed out, America had and still has a strong Nazi following, also curiously backed by billionaires.

Now the collective West is the new Nazi party, and like it or not it’s up to Russia and China to stop them again.

EDIT - Just wanted to point out that a lot of the horrors of the Eastern front is equally blamed on Stalin too, Baltic people hate Germany and Russia the same for WW2. Every side of WW2 sucked horrendous ass, and nobody won in WW2 (except for capitalists)
