Leaked chart of what tankies use to determine whether an ideology is socialist or not.
On top (labeled okay) are state capitalism with red paint (CCP) and absolute monarchy with red paint (DPRK) while on the bottom (labeled not okay) are anarcho-communism, social democracy and trotskyism.
It’s about people’s skin color. I’m calling you a racist. Not helping your cause with ‘cee cee pee’ either.
White people are socialist and good when they have capitalism but offer some social programs with taxes. Brown and yellow people who dispossess slave owners of their land and redistribute it are fascists with red paint.
you are actually the racist for pointing out my racism
has this take ever worked for you chuds? take a long walk off a short pier.
You were the only one who used the term. You might’ve been calling someone else out, but you did it using racist terminology that no one else was using. In doing so you sacrificed the high ground you’re attempting to lord over from.
When I first saw a hexbear user say it, it took me a moment to figure out what they meant. I was like “oh yeah, yellow was a racist way of referring to Asian people, from like 50 years ago”. Way to keep racism alive, congratulations.
In doing so they sacrificed the high ground they’re attempting to lord over from.
Every accusation a confession.
“oh yeah, yellow was a racist way of referring to Asian people, from like 50 years ago”.
Yeah and you obviously haven’t read anything about race for 50 years
I’m Chinese, and I live in a country town in the West.
Trust me, it’s not Hexbear keeping racism alive.
I’ve been called yellow on multiple, multiple occasions. Do you actually think white people have ceased calling us yellow???
50 years ago? Try last month.
I met a Hexbear in person once, they were DISGUSTING and VILE They smelled like beans and mushrooms and when I shook their hand they gave me a small rat and told me it was “one for the road”.
They had green skin like a goblin and had a shirt that said “Xi is my god”.
I didn’t feel safe. Be careful out there, and lock your doors too because I hear they steal your passive income.
state capitalism with red paint (CCP) You know so much about them you haven’t even seen their name written out in English once.
You’re equating the people who built Auschwitz with those who liberated it
And then went on to commit a ton of their own genocide. I can't believe you actually used this as an excuse to not call them facists.
Only one who should eat shit and die is stupid ignorant facists tankies like you.
What makes them a fascist, genuine question? I looked through their profile but couldn’t find anything that would make me think they’re fascist, just edgy Leftist humor. Do you say that simply just because they’re on hexbear?
And what do you politically identify as? I could find even less about you to understand any of your politics.
I haven’t seen any fascists, as far as I’m aware, on hexbear but I hate fascism so I’d be willing to agree with you if you can explain.

Wait, this person who is bragging about going on a forum for praising NATO and war crimes is telling us we’re not socialist enough?
What? I’ve lost the plot.
What is imperialism to you? Is it when countries around the world put Russian imperialism in check? Should we be praising Russia for liberating Ukraine by blowing up maternity wards and hospitals? Should we just let Holodomor v2.0 occur?
As always, such a hot take from Hexbear.

Stop spreading holocaust denial
Socialism is based on public ownership of means of manufacturing. In order to shift to socialism in foreseeable future and in the past, it requires forceful removal of private property and converting it into public, since I can not imagine that all people would do this voluntarily (and they did not do that voluntarily historically). So, yes, you require forceful state, a dictatorship. Soviets openly called that “dictatorship of the working class” when they were nationalizing means of production. That included by the way farmers who used seasonally hired labour. They fought to destroy those farms and farmers were treated as enemy to socialism. Ukrainian Holodomor that killed millions of people is a good example of such fight.
So, before blank-calling other people self-centered and selfish, maybe you should learn a bit more about socialism and its history?
Quite sure this is not what happen. The Soviets were trying to build socialism via the process of collectivization. While some argue that it was also a process of suppression of Ukrainian nationalism, the collectivization was the official policy at the time in the whole USSR and it destroyed lots of farmers everywhere, and killed or sent to exile huge amount of farmers and their families. Ukraine was affected more since it was primarily agricultural with strong farmer class. But hunger and deaths from hunger were common in other agricultural regions too, just to less extend than in Ukraine. In any case, this is what the process of collectivization did, the process of building socialism. Farmers do not want to give up the means of production - hence the forced collectivization.
But my main point that calling selfish those who against socialism because they know about these historical examples is just wrong.
While I don’t particularly agree with the example you’ve given, the idea is correct. In order to have any kind of system (especially at its inception), you need to have authoritarianism of some sort, and in the modern liberal democratic countries, this authoritarianism is in the form of the law and police, who protect private property so capitalists can do their thing.
When it comes to socialism, in almost every case it was done via a military dictatorship, and it’s rather hard to tell if this was done because everyone was copying the big ‘socialist’ countries like soviet union or china, or if dictatorships are the most practical way to do so. With dictatorships there’s a substantial risk of putting someone in power who’s just an opportunist and wants all the power above all else like Stalin, or having a party that doesn’t really care to bring on communism and it turns into oligarchy.
However, it’s not all dictators - Paris Commune was a revolution that had the dictatorship of proletariat, as in the dictator was the working class, and while it failed, it definitely was on the right track, at least in my opinion. You minimize the risks of having a singular dictator, but to succeed you need to have the majority of people on board with the idea, which is a tall order especially today where any talk of socialism is met by misinformed skepticism and years of anti-communist propaganda by the liberal democracy world.
