Its just an instance where tankies can exist in an echo chamber without having to critically think.
If you want you can read some of my comments here and watch these morons make fallacious argument after falacious argument, put words in my mouth, and project some person who makes similarly bad takes which exists inside their head onto me: https://lemmy.today/comment/17304484

Saying the world would have been better off without communists directly states that the ones who killed 90% of the Nazis in World War II and took Berlin should’ve never existed, the Tsar never overthrown, Cuba to remain a fascist slaver colony under Batista, China to remain under the feudal Kuomintang dictatorship, Vietnam to remain a colony of France, South Africa to remain an Apartheid regime, etc.
It isn’t a strawman, it’s the direct consequences of what you said.
