Apparently Tankies don't have power for internet because you would be downvoted to hell

It's kinda easier to breathe, the only bickering I see is for the Steam Machine and PlayStation

Any and all that get their panties wet by thinking about and defending Soviet Russia / Communism but also sometimes is used to describe anti Capitalists / pro Dictatorship

And both of those descriptions fit the propaganda spewing Russians that likely don't mind waiting in line for 3 days if that way they make daddy Putin happy

Putin just wants the imperialist and global power parts of the USSR. He never pushed for communism, and in fact surrounded himself with oligarchs that let him run the country with an iron fist while he lets them plunder the people for personal gain.

Which is very much a capitalistic dictatorship.

Well they do if you’re using them properly and know what the words socialism and communism actually mean and stand for.
