Welcome to MoG!

Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

That is not a change, you misinterpreted me.
"This is merely a prediction of what an advanced country that might implement communism sometime in the future, as in, is not currency communist, but might be someday looks like"
In other words, marx is not describing a communist country, he's describing the prerequisites he believes there are for a communist country.
is a better version of that sentence.
You'll notice one of them even says "in the hands of the state" but it is well known that there is no state in communism... the state must wither away, and communism is the end point, therefore there is no state in communism.
I'm not interested in arguing with you and never will be. You've been called out on a falsehood, and you're unable to man up to it.
I... just explained that I was not in fact called on a falsehood, you just misunderstood my writing.
I even explained how it was obviously true, you're just ignoring it. How could that be an implementation of communism if it includes a state??
I understand now why your co-moderator is unwilling to moderate with you and just gave me sympathy, you can't argue, or possibly, can only argue in bad faith.
Anybody else reading this will come to the conclusion that you're being intentionally obtuse.
I told you I'm not interested in arguing, and you still want to argue. When someone asks you to stop, you stop.
Your ban will last 48 hours
