      Look at this genius who thinks calling someone a “tankie” automatically wins the argument.

      Did you know that despite only having 4.5% of the world’s population, the USSR held 25% of the world’s prison population? Oh wait, no. Those statistics are for the USA right now.

            Which is of course because there are so much fewer socialist countries than capitalist countries.
