I don’t normally consider people that use anti-communist pejoratives like “tankie” to be genuine in their leftism. Especially those that try to pretend works of fiction are genuine evidence against socialism.
When someone claims to be a leftist but starts attacking socialism with literal works of fiction, and calls those that point that out anti-communist pejoratives like “tankie,” I doubt their sincerity. The meme is true in this instance, in the sense that I as a communist don’t really see what’s “left” about anti-communism.

Socialist states do make mistakes, but linking a work of fiction and pretending the “victims of communism were its own people” is just wrong.
The funny part is, I was born and raised in a socialist country and it was shit.
Some were born in a capitalist country that is shit, in fact even more shit than the GDR. What’s your point?
my parents tell me all the time about the slaves we used to have before the reds forced us to leave or be killed
Some of us are as well and there are differences of opinion on that matter. 😄
We’re leftists, that’s exactly our thing.
Somehow I doubt that one.

Lol, you’re confirming the meme.

Which one
The other Germany.
Damn, how old are you?
Older than the internet.
Yeah, but you’d have to be at least 55 to have lived in east Germany as an independent adult
