I replied to someone saying that the USSR defeated the Nazis saying that it was a group effort. Got into an argument and called a Nazi repeatedly because “I was mad that the USSR defeated the Nazis and hated them for it” which is ridiculous. This isn’t the first time that’s happened on Lemmy. What’s up with that?
lemmy.ml is a tankie instance. Anyone and anything from there can be disregarded entirely.
liberal worlder: “Tankies = anything remotely leftist”
The two lead devs literally have Fidel Castro and Che Guevara, two of the most horrific scum in history, as their idols and spend their time dick riding Mao. They’re openly Tankies.
Fidel Castro tortured and executed thousands of political dissidents.
Guevara implemented concentration camps for gays and literally took the motto of Auschwitz “work sets you free” turning it into “work will turn you into men”. Except he just had them tortured and executed. Along with hundreds of other political dissidents, himself personally taking part in the torture and murder of 216 people, making him one of the most prolific serial killers in history.
Now, fuck off tankie. The only good commie is a dead commie.
And yet things got significantly better for the Cuban people. Makes you wonder how bad things were under the Batista slavery regime, doesn’t it?
Let me guess, you’d hate Nat Turner, too right?
Seriously though: how do you reconcile your view above with American celebration of Nat Turner?
Do you ever think about the moral implications of Nat Turner?
How in the world would you come to that conclusion, unless you’re stupid enough to equate a dictator with absolute power, and a military commander under said dictatorship with full government authority, to a literal slave that staged a rebellion against actual oppressors?
Nat Turner was actively a slave and staged a rebellion for his freedom and the freedom of the other enslaved people around him. And was executed for it.
Fidel Castro was a dictator with full power. He WAS the oppressor. A more apt analogy would be siding with the people that Castro killed for not wanting to live under a dictator. Or the gays that Guevara put in concentration camps and had murdered rising up and rebelling against him.
This is why nobody takes you idiot tankies seriously. You claim to be leftist but then support the same authoritarian bullshit that right wingers do. You cry about oppression then idolize the oppressors.
Yes, things were also horrible under Batista? I don’t think anyone is going to argue against that.
Things also got better for the average Chinese under Mao too… Unless you were one of the 10s of millions of poor bastards standing in his way and were murdered or intentionally starved out during the Great Leap Forward.
Turns out you can make a lot of progress if you just murder anyone who disagrees with you.
What about nat turner??? Checkmate!!!
haha yea! Amerikkka had no reason to lie about anything to do with cuba not lik they led the red scare and mercilessly shutdown any country that wanted communism, im sure they would tots not propagandize Castro.
go ahead and give me a non cia source then, zionazi lib
Castro was apparently based when he had queers killed and went “oh whoops, sowwy”
If cuba was good, you’d move into it. You won’t.
“If you hate America so much for doing imperialism, why not move to a country that’s targeted by that imperialism?”
