    Tankies tend to assume any accusation against a Marxist state is either a lie or the victims deserved it.

    One of the reasons is that you’ve got people like the Heritage Foundation running around including Nazis in their “victims of socialism” lists.

    Both as the victims and perpetrators btw, lmao.

    Mostly though they just seem weirdly stuck in a Cold War mentality.

      Everybody loves jerking off about failed states but leave out how they always have to make it a vacuum while constantly under fire, conspiracy, and embargo by every capitalist state on the planet.

        Ok, but how does that change the fact that Lemmy’s communists will call you a Nazi for pointing out the genocides perpetrated by those States?

            It’s not whataboutism when the person is bringing the conversation back to the topic that another person whatabouted away from.

            Nah, it’s just that when provided with examples people like you either stop responding or try to find a justification for it.
