Could somebody please explain the mindset of a ☭TANKIE☭ to me? Why on Earth do they insist on apologising for and justifying the crimes of some of the worst regimes this world has ever known?
Marxism-Leninism killed around 20 million people in the 20th century, so why must they continue to defend an obviously flawed and broken system?
Isaiah Gray
Maybe I'm overthinking this but I have a feeling that MLs falseflag as anti-MLs to set up weak strawmen. Marxism-Leninism didn't kill 20 million people, find a more sensible critique.
Jaxson Edwards
The USSR and China have nothing to appologize for, anarkiddie. Stalin's policing killed around 800 thousand people, and there is no knowing if that could be avoided without devastating consequences or worse terror. Mao was great humanist, and avoided terror altogether.

nice anti-communist slander

Yes because the eternal Capitalist will always fuck the Proles over. See alt-right etc.
Aaron Edwards
more like it.
Jayden Turner
there's a lot of the opposite going on tbh, and i'm very critical of mls.
Jeremiah Collins
cant make this shit up
Jaxson Gray
MLs see the USSR as the socialist experiment that lasted the longest and as such the blueprint for revolution. ☭TANKIE☭s like soviet aesthetics and defend anything with said aesthetics. There's a difference between the two despite overlap.
Probably.

Because for all its faults, the Comecon was far better then current capitalist world. The argument Stalin murdered X people is weak in contrast to US imperialism bombing the crap out of the 3rd world, purposely targeting infrastructure dependent on supporting life, like water systems in deserts. So was the crimes of the eastern bloc countries the worst known to man? What are these crimes and how bad are they in context to the crimes of capitalism?

we have a new level boys ! let's start a campfire, it's chilling outside

You realise that Marxist-Leninists don't deny the fact that leaders such as Mao and Stalin made mistakes, what we instead assert (with ample evidence) is that: 1. Marxism-Leninism is the only form of Marxism that has ever successfully prosecuted a revolution 2. This is due to attributes specific to Marxism-Leninism 3. Left-Communism and other opportunistic or utopian ideologies cannot possibly work due to issues inherent to them
Oh, and the "20 million" figure is sheer nonsense. Many did sadly die, but those deaths were more products of the specific situation ML states found themselves in; under threat of aggression from all sides, and from saboteurs within.
Jack Martinez
Holy fuck that's pathetic

Jose Robinson
20 million is pretty close to the accepted death toll, but it's a stretch to say Marxism-Leninism "killed" them.
Easton Flores
for the same reason they defend wind turbines that kill migrating birds
Jack Morris
Why am I not surprised? Do me next!

Holy fuck, this reminds me of the "based comrade Hillary" threads. ☭TANKIE☭s are worse than Holla Forumsyps.

Can you link me the book by Lenin or Marx that theorized that 20 million people should be killed? Or if it was an accident, show me the book and part of the theory that led to those deaths.
