Are you a tankie?

[Gargamel]

I'm not a tankie, personally. While I do find communism an interesting topic of study, I don't support it at all nor do I condone the actions of communist regimes past or present. But I have seen some people here on Lounge 96 making tankie arguments recently, and it got me thinking. So I ask, are you a tankie? Are you NOT a tankie? Why?

In a Utopia I would be that, because most people are far too retarded to not be strictly controlled. The reason why this wouldn't work out, is because governments world over are corrupt and can't be trusted. The Covid times was a good reminder of that.

Lmao no. I want to stay far away from whatever batshit beliefs Ashley has.

Proud of you for admitting it, Miss Marxism.

The chinese communist party is headed by a self-proclaimed marxist who integrates marxism into their economic planning and they just destroyed silicon valley's decades of work and stocks today.

Deepseek blew everything americans created out of the water, cost less to produce, didn't outsource data crunching to exploited third worlders, costs less to run. That's the difference between employing actual talent in a quasi-socialist system compared to giving ketamine-addicted rich guys power over technological advances that will decide the future of your economy.

I agree with this. Do they really not outsource or exploit their labor though?

 

[mtil]
