    I like the moral of the post image but their use of the word “capitalists” seems pretty sketchy. That’s a flag for tankie astroturfing.

        Thats why I called it a flag instead of a clear indication.

        The way I see it, tearing down capitalism will never lead to communism, but those words just mean west and east to Tankies anyways.

        When there are this many Tankies on Lemmy its a safer bet to assume “capitalism causes all the bad” are Tankies than not.

          I have seen capitalist used as a synonym for bourgeoisie.

          Blaming capitalism for problems is common to a lot of socialists
