I’m astonished at how sensitive the mods must be over there.

Apparently you’re allowed to say whatever baseless slander you like about the eeeeevil tankies but the minute someone says “Hold up a sec, you claim to be anti-authoritarian and yet you support authoritarianism either explicitly or implicitly?” and they have to shut it down immediately.

Regardless, I think I made a pretty solid counterargument to the typical complaint about communism being authoritarian.

Mfers skim read the Wikipedia entry on Hannah Arendt and start thinking they’re justified in slinging accusations about “muh authoritarianism” smh.

      killing enough people so there’s enough to go around

      You see stupid tankie, material wealth is just a big limited pile of stuff that is just there to take, so less people = more for everyone, easy! 🤡

        Libs:

        “Chiner killed a bunch of its own people and that’s how they lifted themselves out of extreme poverty!!”

        Also libs:

        “Chiner is sitting on a demographic timebomb [which is false, btw] which will cause their population to crash and it will tank their economy!!”

          Is the demographic timebomb thing not true? Isn’t it happening to S Korea and Japan RN? China is promising but it’s not immune from hard expectations like those two nations and crushing city labor, how will China avoid the demographic timebomb from a Marxist perspective?
