    I guess I have a different perspective because Iived in the real existing socialism.

    But fair enough, the upper picture with the rainbow does not really reflect the real existing capitalism.

      As much as you think you “live in socialism”, your complain will most likely come from autoritarianism, productivism and global market/warfare issues. In the same way, socialism, communism and variants like socialist capitalism are a lot different, and people don’t always make a difference between them.

            So, the person that you called out said they’ve lived through socialism and you come back with that’s not true socialism.

            You’re panel 2

        That is why I specified that I lived in the real existing socialism, not a idealized version.

        Anyway, those all important nuances which memes normally don’t need to cramp in into a funny picture which is trying to make fun of tankies which I se here on Lemmy much more often than anywhere else I’ve participated on the internet.

            Poland until '89 when we fled to west Germany. My dad refused to join the party which made life much more complicated than it was for other members of the family who did.

            It was the time of the martial law https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial_law_in_Poland and my dad was often out protesting in the colemine until the tanks rolled in.

              Martial law sounds dreadful. Glad you got the chance for a better life. Poland has come a long way since then.

                They really did, it was hard work and so many of them had to go abroad for some time, but many came back with money waned there and helped building Poland to what it is today. It’s not perfect, but what a difference!

                And that is why they also understand the real threat which is coming closer from Russia.
