    If you mean communists that support capitalist states like China, then yes, unfortunately. Better than being around nothing but liberals or anti-communists though.

            Vaush proved that “libsoc” is just a more socially-acceptable way of identifying as a pedo.

            EDIT: apparently they instance banned me 4 months ago for “pedojacketing, fashjacketing” which is an extremely revealing choice of language.

          Aren’t you that guy who argued with your own community and played the victim over the use of AI art because you didn’t want to accept you were being an insufferable AI techbro who doesn’t understand consent? Like I’ve seen trolls flex more to criticism than you did there.

          EDIT: Wondered why they didn’t respond and. Holy shit I just looked at the modlog for dbzer0 and you can’t make this shit up Banned me for reason: pedojacketing, fashjacketing

          So you ARE a pedophile-nazi. Fucking love to see it. I will be adding your instance to my block list. If you see this: get help.

      Used to mean someone who would support sending in tanks to crush capitalist rallies like in Hungary (which most people who get labelled “tankies” these days obviously don’t), but nowadays it’s just an anti-communist term for anyone that supports any socialist revolution that has successfully built a socialist nation.

          All states are inherently “authoritarian” and enforce certain principles over others. What matters is if those principles materially prioritize workers over capitalists, which socialist states do.

          You can’t create a stateless, classless communist society from capitalism without a transitional socialist state that breaks the monopoly on force and propaganda that capitalist states have — specially in a world ruled by capitalist superpowers like the US which constantly coups and invades non-capitalist states. Thinking otherwise is just delusional and utopian.

          No non-capitalist state will survive in the modern world if they don’t sufficiently get rid of propaganda and deal with capitalist funded insurgencies, which capitalist states will label as “authoritarian”; they’d immediately be coup’d and overthrown by imperial core countries otherwise, as many socialist states have (Chile, Libya, etc).


          And regardless, socialist states are a massive improvement over capitalist states when it comes to “authoritarianism” anyway, same as most other metrics. The US has 0.8% of its population in prison for example, while China has 0.1%. Similar stats on most metrics for the USSR vs USA; socialist Russia’s human rights were also far better than capitalist Russia’s, obviously.
