So 18 to 23 year old neckbeard tankies are defending Gulags from their mother's basement......a normal day in a most communist subreddits then.

Someone forgot that they are middle-class and not the proletariat...again.

I just want daddy stalin's cummies. Is that too much to ask for around here? 😔

Stalin hated homosexuals...OFF TO GULAG FOR YOU.

Kinky! Always had a BDSM thing tbh

wtf i love communism now

Stop being so insecure, we all know that you're deeply closeted gay/bi man.

cause you get to go on a siberian vacation with a bunch of gay men?

When you only have rags and have to survive the siberian winter nights in an unheated, uninsulated hut, there's only one way to stay warm...

is it full penetration?

Projection, son.

No man with a mustache that majestic rides only one breed of horse, ifyouknowwhatimsaying.

He had children, that means he had to fuck women too.

I love you. As simple as that 💞

serious post: I bet stalin's cummies would actually fetch a huge price at market. So akshully, yes. too much to ask.

The problem with these Anarcho/Commie kids is that they all think they'll be the next dear leader, and not the first ones catching a free helicopter ride.

That's not a bug, that's a feature.

I think most are just in it for all the killing they get to do during the revolution and jsut assume everything will work itself out after the fact.

I swear most are in it for the violent revolution over the economics or caring about the poor.

Not trying to whatabout here too, but the same can be said for Twitter Nazis talking about social degeneracy while having avatars of naked anime children.

It's an entire generation of spoiled kids obsessed with finding /ourguys/ yet being totally ignorant of how easily political ideologies eventually turn against it's supporters.

I mean, that is whataboutism but it is totally true as well. People should totally think both of those groups are fucking crazy pathetic losers.

People should totally think both of those groups are fucking crazy pathetic losers.

They do. It is only teenaged and 20-something children on reddit who think otherwise.

Yes they both do and rightly so but never enough for my liking. There are too many people of the respective camps in media, politics, and generic social media that condone the fringe by rationalizing at a minimum or worse.

They were savvy enough to go "YOUR FAMILY DESERVED IT" to the top comments about people who's families died in soviet work camps

They are learning

The dream of finally being able to kill all the bullies. Communism is a means to an end of mass slaughter and never having to work so they can play video games and invent pronouns for the rest of their lives.

u can be middle class and be a proletariat. proletariat simply means you sell your labor in order to make money, you don't own the means of production.

GUYS GUYS I FOUND ONE

Don't downvote him; he might learn he's retarded, and we wouldn't want that.

Oh I know this, because it's largely used as an excuse so that a son of a rich doctor in the USA can LARP as a worker and call a cafe owner in Moldova petite bourgeoisie. 😒

Recently I've seen them call small farmers bourgeois (because nowadays most of them own their farms).

Well you know - if actual workers started a revolution that would not be a good thing for reddit tankie crowd, would it? Guess who would be the first ones against the wall?

The chapptraphouse guys are 1st to die

That's not new, Stalin himself called the Kulaks petite bourgeoisie in the 1920's.

I thought it just meant you didn't have a direct say in the senate and had to rely on the tribune of the plebs to speak for you.

sell your labor in order to make money

rich people do this too, buddy

Middle class and they don't own any stocks or rental property right? Strictly make every last penny of their income from their bare hands? They do zero contracting work and are only employees?

the difference between proletariat and bourgeois is literally one thing. bourgeois own; proletariat work in things owned by bourgeois. a proletariat can be as rich or as poor as their circumstances allow

Yes because people definitely talk about killing everyone what they have in mind is rich proletariat murdering poor bourgeois

more poor proletariat and rich bourgeois but at least u know the words 🤷🏽‍♂️

Don’t let these losers here stop you from believing whatever you want to believe. Good luck with your band.

hey thanks man!

Can I be in your band?

ya ur the new lead singer

Sorry I can only play the jaw harp

u any good on the skin flute?

Nope, jaw harp only

What about the bussy blaster?

Sorry mommy, only jaw harp

These fuckers wouldn't survive two months in an post soviet, eastern european country, even now

Wat

Estonia and Czechia are literally gulags transported to the modern day.

I'm not from Slowtonia of Chezchia

If you say to an estonian that he is from easter and not northern Europe, he will get gloomy and write you a slightly angry letter....after a week.

That's the trouble with being a northeastern European country.

comparing Estonia and The Czech Republic eksde

Ok, Latvia and Czechia. Same shit

Estonia and Latvia maybe. Czechia is a pretty fine country to live in. As long as you are white that is.

I agree. Czechia is nice, Veronika Varekova is makes it even better.

Nobody wants to live in most of EE countries, emigration, alcoholism and suicide numbers are way up there...even refugees run away.

Am I not allowed to rant here!

What good did communism ever do?

Population surge in Russia and China? Free healthcare? Gender equality? Doubling the life expectancy in China and USSR? Defeating fascism? Turning third world countries into global superpowers? Cuba's renowned free medical education? Ever heard of Burkina Faso?

Portraying the act of enslaving almost your entire population (aside of a small party elite) as "gender equality" - well done /u/adoveisaglove. That's a seriously positive attitude if I've ever seen one.

Can you tell me what good fascism did too? What good did IS ever do? What about Pinochet - what good did he ever do? I am burning to know.

Portraying the act of enslaving almost your entire population (aside of a small party elite) as "gender equality"

I thought we were talking about socialism - why'd you change the subject to capitalism?

To humor you

Can you tell me what good fascism did?

Showing the world what capitalism looks like when it's back is against the wall

IS?

Was created by US imperialism.

Pinochet

Was a puppet whose coup was openly backed by the US. Again, created by US imperialism.

Pinochet

Extreme anticommunist

You're making him sound much better than he was. At least with one of the three you semi succeeded in telling us about "what good did X ever do".

Portraying the act of enslaving almost your entire population (aside of a small party elite) as "gender equality"

I thought we were talking about socialism - why'd you change the subject to capitalism?

System 1: You own the fruits of your own labor (to a degree, the govt takes some of it). You can work for someone else, have your own bznz, become a subsistence farmer or whatever - slavery according to you.

System 2: You don't own the fruits of your own labor. It's illegal to not be employed - the government will work you to death in a forced labor camp. You can't start your own bznz. You're not even allowed to be a subsistence farmer - not slavery according to you.

You sound like a lovely person. Really lovely.

Would you say that slavery in the US wasn't really slavery, but a confederation of socialist micro-states? The slaves liberated plebs had free healthcare, a guaranteed job, higher life expectancy than in their country of origin, free motivational encouragement, ...

Oh look a western tankie....

Damn it, socialism debunked again

Fuck off tankie, go suck off Stalins dick

What’s it like being the moral equivalent of a holocaust denier?

Do you honestly think you wouldn’t be against the wall in any communist revolution

What good did IS ever do?

Cleared a lot of real estate in Mosul and Fallujah, got Maliki deposed...

How can a communist be a prison guard? Isn't that haram?

I mean, do we have to say that us prison system is horrific to justify that the gulag was more horrific? Have we become that stupid? And then do we have to pretend that there aren't similarities between the two to ensure that no one confuses our prison system with the gulag? Have we fallen so far? Do we no longer remember that in Soviet Russia opinions have you?

I'd like to point out that I am a former prison guard for a privately run prison in Central Tennessee run by CCA, Correction Corporation of America.

We have forced labor prisons here, too. The largest population in world history, actually. It all goes to making a few people very, very rich.

Would you say that it's the inevitable end product of capitalism? In America, this is not a new thing but an evolution of forced prison labor since the country's conception.

But you don't care about that. You care about being smug as fuck.

I bet those prisoners wish they were in a Soviet gulag instead!
