When people want to pretend that communism is worse than capitalism

Basically nobody on lemmy does that, and that's a strawman. Criticizing tankies and Stalin is not an attack on communism itself or a defense of capitalism.

The entire purpose of this meme is to point out the hypocrisy of condemning America's wrongdoings (which we acknowledge) while defending the atrocities of a dictator just because they waved a red flag while doing said atrocities.
