  They didn’t say communism, though. They said tankie dictators.

    Tankie is a pejorative for communists, the US calls everyone who doesn’t do what they say a dictator

      No, and drop the pipe, I know what a dictator is on my own.

    We all know what that means to them, with Stalin topping the list.

        Even in Stalin’s time there was collective leadership. The Western idea of a dictator within the Communist setup is exaggerated. Misunderstandings on that subject are caused by a lack of comprehension of the real nature and organization of the Communist’s power structure. Stalin, although holding wide powers, was merely captain of a team

    Yeah equating tankies and communism is a psyop. Red Scare 2.0, poisoning the well so communism looks horrible

  You got moderated because you emanate Hitler particles. You’re not the innocent little poster you think you are, and some circles are clever enough to see that with haste.
