    In what way are the states they worship remotely socialist, communist, or anarchist? The means of production are controlled by a small elite who increase their share of control over the means of prodiction by leveraging this control. The only thing that distinguishes the economic stratification of the CCP or the late soviet union from capitalist states is semantic word games.

    It’s the same thing as a market based oligopoly.

    There have been left wing states, and left wing projects within right wing states, but worshipping putin or winnie the pooh ain’t it.

      I’m here to laugh at ridiculous leftists dunking on ridiculous leftists, not to debate the finer points of tankie theory.

      I don’t take anyone who self-identifies as a leftist seriously.
