with the communist red and yellow hammer and sicle? is this a joke? how'd that work out for the ussr, cuban, north korean, and chinese citizens? keep using the graphics of failure, i'm sure at some point it'll mask all the reality of disaster.
not necessarily condoning the propaganda edits without jokes or humor being posted in the meme communities several times a day lately but here's the pretty unanimous "tankie" line on that question if you'd actually like an answer (~30 minute read, original medium link)
"This essay is presenting a very one-sided depiction of socialist states, with a great many of their shortcomings, mistakes, failures, and crimes (yes, a few) omitted or barely discussed"
Their many shortcomings, mistakes, failures and crimes (more than a few) are why I have a disinterest in engaging with these political movements.
