The DM was a DM asking us to change our no tankies policy and remove the fuck tankies banner as it was apparently upsetting hexbear users. Apparently tankies view the word tankie as a form of slur. The admin wants us to ally as a form of “left solidarity”

        Stalin literally killed Jews and gay people The only reason why they allied with us was because they viewed Germany as a bigger threat

        In post WW2 Poland (as late as 1950 I think) there were around 200 work camps, organized by the new ‘Communist’ government, and some organized by the red army or/and NKVD. At least around 75 thousand people have died in them, most of them Germans, but a non marginal amount of them were Ukrainians, Poles and Lemkos. Not the same scale as the holocaust, no death camps, but it did happen.

          And that’s the type of “communism” that tankies like. Brutal and authoritarian. Unfortunately, a lot of countries seem to go that way.

      No, they do not. They both support ideologies that are authoritarian or prone to authoritarianism but it is important to note that fascism is an ideological response to Marx’s works. They are opposed to each other.

      Fascism is a real belief system. It is a stupid one but it is one
