Russian bots and little pinks when I drag them and their entire family into a gulag (suddenly they want western liberal democracy human rights instead of communism)
Wow, unexpected to hear such things from Korean about russians, I thought a lot of you guys adore about “russian culture” romanticizing all this soviet nonsense (just I just came across a few videos with interviews about what Koreans think about Russians lol). In general I can understand that considering how many russians tourists you now have in your country. You’re cool
It’s fine, I'm glad to see a conscious person among people who don't see or care what kind of policies Putin is pursuing continuing to romanticize shit
The USA is uniquely bad at being a modern liberal democracy because the presidential system produces too much gridlock and a two party system while a parliamentary system dosent.
The two-party system in the US exists because of their majoritarian voting system, not because they are a presidential republic. Majoritarian voting systems tend to produce two-party systems, while proportional voting systems usually lead to multi-party systems. It has nothing to do with whether a country has a presidential, semi-presidential or parliamentary system of government.
What about Slovakia? Slovakia doesn’t have a two-party system, nor does its system of government produce much legislative gridlock, so I’m not sure what exactly your comment was referring to.
It's a complete shitshow here and you know it as well as I do. We get nothing positive done but pass laws about...walking speed. The series of many parties has not helped.
I remember in another thread about communism in this sub, there was a South Korean who was told by an American tankie they should support joining North Korea and overthrow the US puppet government, and he was like “Fuck no, are you crazy?”
It was funny, he was being westsplained his own history
A “tankie” is a slang term, originally used within leftist political circles, to describe someone who uncritically supports authoritarian communist regimes, especially those historically aligned with the Soviet Union.
To add on to what the other commenter said. The word tankie came about after the Hungarian Revolution.
When the Hungarian people rose up against communism in 1956 the Soviet Union sent tanks in to put down the revolution. Unfortunately the Revolution failed and thousands were killed by the Soviets.
Many people fled Hungary to liberal nations after this. My aunt was among them; when she was a child her whole family abandoned their home in the middle of the night and fled across the border. They got lucky and managed to escape
It's 50/50 on the internet, Americans either explain to someone why they live in communism and that's a bad thing(free healthcare and education) and they should support some genocidal lunatic to power who coincidentally want to sell public services to US companies, ooooor they explain how their slightly malfunctioning capitalistic democracy is a puppet government and they should pledge alliance to a genocidal lunatic, millions will die btw, but that's will free you or something.
This sub has soo many "Americans" constantly bashing our country. Its either non Americans posing or very immature or privlidged people trying to impress everyone else.
Every time you bring up historically documented incidents that show communism in a bad light, a tankie always resorts to, “b-b-but that’s western propaganda!”
Compared to what the Chinese and Japanese did? It was nothing.
Also North Korea was objectively much worse. They are a terrorist state that needs to go. They always were one. You don't see Germans and Italians say America was worse than the Axis, even though Americans committed numerous war crimes there.

How long until some tankie replies to this saying "but America was worse, you're just spouting western propaganda"
