    Hey, if neoliberalism and conservatism hadn’t been such a pathetic fucking failure and unmasked themselves as simply being neofeudalism then us normies wouldn’t’ve had to become tankies. Even business owners are taking up the flag and heading to the practice range

        Yes, normies. Basic small business Americans. People who have seen the utter failure of everything the right has claimed capitalism would fix and never fail at. We have veen given every single problem that they claimed socialism would cause.

        Every single one.

      But it hasn’t been a failure.

      When was the last time you actually read anything pro capitalism?

      I bet you never haven’t.

        I read everything Ayn Rand wrote along with hearing all the pro-capitalism rants of all your favorite pundits of the 90s.

        They were all dead wrong.

          So you read some 50 year old books and then you’ve heard some conservative TV hosts?

          Shit man, then I’m more than happy for you to turn the entire global financial system on its head.

            So, since you made a claim and I responded in the positive against it and you STILL got mad, I’d like to ask you if you even know what capitalism is, and if you can distinguish it from commerce.

            To your other point, yes, iverturning the entire global finacial system is an excellent idea. Maybe then you’d gert yer jerbs berk

      It’s funny you mention neoliberalism as a argument for being a Tankie, even though most ML states have adopted neoliberal policies. The market based reforms of China following the death of Mao were based around neoliberal principles to gain power in the system of global capitalism. It was a more nationalist approach, but neoliberalism has its tendrils all over many modern ML states.

          I have no idea what point you’re trying to make here. The only coherent complaint fascists have about China is that they’re the enemy nation. I don’t give a fuck what they think, because most fascists don’t realize they want a ton of the same shit as current China.

          It’s confusing that you claim to be a Tankie, yet don’t defend China. What do you actually think a Tankie is? A Marxist-Leninist?

              Tankies don’t oppose. Then they wouldn’t be tankies, just edgy MLs. If you support the government crushing attempts to fight against the system, you’re effectively just the liberals who denounce anything beyond peaceful protest.

              Actually, now that I think about it, you’d be worse than liberals, because voting is more useful in liberal democracies and legally protesting isn’t even allowed in ML states.
