It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

this guy is so ignorant and "all look same" racist that he has Mao confused with Pol Pot
during Mao's tenure China's life expectancy DOUBLED and from 1952-1978 there was 6.2% annnual growth. just chauvinist fantasies from this asshole
One of the biggest moments for me or realizing how propagandized westerners are is when I discovered how much improvement happened in the USSR and China under the "bad" leaders. These facts are not in dispute or being surpressed, but the western public is being effectively kept ignorant of them.
Same sources will be constantly "handing it" to fascists and excusing their crimes because 'they made the trains run on time' (for a few years before war and destruction engulfed their countries)
The dumbest part of that is that Mussolini's policies "made the trains run on time" by placing enormous pressures on the rail workers and eschewing maintenance and safe operating procedures, causing some marginal increase in normal punctuality at the cost of massively increasing deadly accidents and shutdowns from trains derailing.
Well, liberal economists are still way too negative on Mao because they have no way to account for collective ownership, or in any case choose to account for it inadequately.
