Looks like capitalism with socialist aesthetics and Chinese characteristics.

Communism is when big Skyscrapers with Communist Symbols


Ronisoni14

Skyscrapers can be based tbh, there are cases when you can't expand any further and building higher is the best way to move forward. Those car infested roads, however...


Financial-Owl6609

Big balloons ..


judgeman-

Wait until they see how Chinese kids are overworked to death and the steady rise of youth unemployment.

Not_A_Hooman53

but it has to be communism! look at all the red!


Murky-Lingonberry-32

Communism is when you have Capitalism rapped in a blanket with communist symbols over it and you call every good thing about it communism when you are actually being pro-capitalist.


dino_spice

This is terminally online communism in a nutshell: all in your face aesthetics, zero principles.


elsonwarcraft

Tankies soying over cyberpunk with communist aesthetics


ScrabCrab

...soying? What, as in the right-wing conspiracy theory that claims eating soy feminizes people and feminine man = weak and bad? Cause that's where shit like "soyjack" comes from. You're playing their game all that leads to is more bigotry>


Fattyboy_777

Well said! There's way too much toxic masculinity and gender-based hierarchies being perpetuated here and in other leftists spaces.


Reasonable_Scar3339

It’s a basically CCP fanzine, what did you expect?


Zachanassian

unpopular opinion: skyscrapers\* are a symptom of capitalism, are not something societies should aspire to, and we should view skyscrapers the same way we do single-family suburbs and golf courses ^(\*by "skyscrapers" I don't mean density, I mean tall buildings, mostly offices and luxury condos, built as a result of speculation on property values)


600_Benz

Nah skyscrapers are cool as shit and are common response to more people wanting to live in the same area. Without skyscrapers high density places would be even more expensive.


InsuranceOdd6604

When you in the UK have more work rights and safegards than the guys working in skyscrapers bathed in Communist flags.


Absolutedumbass69

Those are the people’s corporate offices.


SheepherderSoft5647

This smells like capitalism. ​ The building lights, everything in this picture screams capitalism.


DaughterOfDemeter23

That's just threatening


Flagmaker123

socialism is when the flag is red, don't you know? /s

This is a leftist subreddit, fuck off with your le 10000000 trillion victims of communism shit


BaekjeSmile

What are you on about? All three of those men killed a greatvmany people and if this is meant to be an anti-authoritarian left wing sub then you can't get much more authoritarian leftist then Stalin or Pol Pot.


ScrabCrab

What I'm on about is the fact that "communism = pol pot" is a terrible take lmfao


BaekjeSmile

He clearly means Marxism-Leninism, which OP was obviously referring to.


ScrabCrab

In that case they should've said "Marxism-Leninism", not "communism". They're different terms with different meanings, and "communism is when Stalin" is a ridiculously stereotypical liberal take that I've heard said unironically hundreds of times. There was absolutely 0 indication that they \*didn't\* mean it in that way as well. Not to mention that even if it refers to Marxism-Leninism, the "100000000000 million dead" shit comes from The Black Book of Communism, which is right-wing propaganda and includes the Russian soldiers the Nazis killed during WW2 as "victims of communism" lmao


OhMamaMeatballs

I'm not shocked that you're struggling to understand what they're on about


suicidalboymoder_uwu

Aren't they right tho...? Those were all brutal regimes. Enlighten me


ScrabCrab

"Communism is when the government kills people" is not the leftist take you think it is It's in fact right-wing propaganda which funnily enough tankies also cling to when they claim that communism is when Stalin
