Lol, saying yes to the death penalty in socialist countries because their justice system is just. These people live in a bubble.

Documenting hate-speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of bias)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism or any variation of Tankie Ideology. There is no justifying Genocide.
Revisionism — Downplaying or denying atrocities past and present will result in an immediate ban.
If you're violating instance rules, you'll typically be warned. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.

I swear most of these people are bad Chinese state actors
also replacing schools with... schools?
unless education is privatised in the us?
There are private schools. They range from religious to for-profit operations. There is a public school system that exists, though very... unevenly administrated.
To steelman the position somewhat, they did say "Schools as we know them". Modern schooling does leave a lot to be desired, and if you listen to any passionate professional in the educational field talk about how they'd change and improve schools, it would fundamentally change things.
Some on the right are trying to make it that way, but no. The vast majority are in public schools
The police abolition is an interesting one. Do they think there would be zero crime in this fantasy land of theirs?
Possibility 1: They're idiots who think that ALL crime comes from capitalist material conditions
Possibility 2: They want to return to the pre-police system where military forces simply shoot people who are being unruly and influential locals decide who is or is not investigated for crimes
Possibility 3: They want to return to the pre-state system where the tribe communally gets together and beats anyone to death who blasphemes against the Holy Scriptures (in this case, of Lenin, Stalin, and Mao)
"abolish the police" always has been such a dumb and empty slogan.
Yes, yes, police in the us needs an enormous overhaul that will likely take decade, if (and whenever) implemented.
But just dumping, abolishing it? How stupid are you?
