There was a wave of tankie on Reddit and here during the reddexit. It was like, “where the fuck did stalin/mao/pol pot loving, atrocity denying weirdos come from en masse?” But you’re right the shock was bigger than the phenomenon.
Hehehe, thank you. EDIT: I didn’t realize that Pol Pot’s atrocities in trying to convert Cambodia into an agrarian communist paradise were not the right kind of atrocities for standard tankies.
Leftists or tankies? I’m talking about those that pretend Stalin and Mao didn’t murder millions of people in pursuit of their communist state, while creating a corrupt one party government of haves. There’s a difference between leftists and tankies.
It’s worth remembering when pol pot was offered access to the entire library of the cpc he just said “nah, I got this”.
Turning down the chance to read some dry, boring books on political economy is about the least communist thing a person can do. It’s only beaten by arguing about that shit and making a split when the argument gets heated.

The commies were here first—we created Lemmy, lol
Thank you for your service; now move along.
Smh more settler colonialism
Big difference between being a commie and being an atrocity-denying commie that has no sense of historical perspective.
I challenge you to find a single person anywhere on Lemmygrad or Hexbear who expressed a favorable opinion of Pol Pot.

This could be a moment for you to realize you don’t know what leftists actually believe, but I’m getting the sense you won’t.

Wtf, lmao. The only people calling pol pot communist are liberals.
No one called them communist here, they are just calling out people who are apologists for genocide.
TIL Marxist-Leninists (which Pol Pot was) are not communist.
