You’re thinking of literal fascist anti-communist propaganda and using a very basic knowledge of anything leftist/communist-related to fill-in the rest
Exactly what I was referring to… A bunch of the same old tired talking points that you’ve never actually bothered to look into.
"The US has basically lied since its founding, but they would NEVER lie to ME about Stalin or the USSR. And I know this because I saw a whole tiktok video once and a meme that said “commie bad”
Why don’t you define it if you know it so well? I’m looking through this comment chain and the only thing you have been doing is deflecting or jumping to another topic, while asking bad faith questions.
The other guy could at least be bothered to give his definition, it might be the wrong one, but I ain’t reading a counter definition.
That’s the most common, and yet incredibly incorrect, answer
Mind elaborating?
Why don’t you define “tankie” or authoritarianism before, then? Instead of just sharing a silly meme and acting as if that was an explanation.
What even is communist authoritarianism? Lol
I’d define tankies as in favor of ‘communist’ authoritarianism.
Yeah, communist authoritarianism is not a thing.

Was Stalin authoritarian? If massive purges to consolidate power aren’t authoritarian, I don’t know what is.

Are you seriously arguing that Stalin did not purge political opponents?
No, that’s not what I’m arguing. You just can’t read well.
Also, what opponents? Name them since you’re such an expert
