What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.

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.

Yeah, though that's going to be insanely costly for the government. Best solution is offering a cheap, readily available public version and then the premium services.
It is! But ironically, animals are and have always been treated the worst in communist states.
You mean rural?
The point of banning private versions of essential services is to make it so wealthy people have to use the same public version as poor people.
If a private alternative exists that rich people can use instead, the people who have the most power in society, then they have little incentive to provide a good public version.
I used to mix up Urban and Rural because Urban areas are where you grow herbs right?
Third thing will only work if your land is filled with natural resources. Tankies sure take that for granted or just completely ignorant and doesn't realize that communism is realistically only feasible only if your land has unlimited natural resources and slavery.
