Tankie is not synonymous with socialist/communist.
Edit: and neither is criticizing capitalism
Yeah thats fine but federated instances are absolutely writhing with tankies who will use sentiments like this to encourage subterfuge and spread propoganda.
I feel like if you react to any left-wing posts like a you're the main role in a 50's red scare propaganda video, they've already won.
Thats the same logic people use to say wokeness empowers nazis.
No it makes sense, this post mentions the corruption of the legal system and how wage labor results in the capitalist class having all the power while producing none of the labor. How is that in any way linked with authoritarianism or military action?
The part where authoritarians claims to oppose capitalism. There are bad actors who claim the opposite of the outcome of their actions. Thats the nuance of this situation.
Still seems strange to comment here, I mean thats a valid argument but this doesn't seem like the right place.
This is literally a place that explicitly bans tankies. It's the place for sure.
No I mean specifically this post
This post is literally in a place that explicitly bans tankies. It’s the place for sure.
Yeah that doesn't mean every slightly left wing post is authoritarian, that just comes off as far too accusatory. Shocking news, actual leftists exist on this instance.
I never said the post was improper, I just said be careful and then asked a question that sorts the wheat from the chaff.
A better question would be do the workers need a vanguard/vanguard party and if so how much power should they hold. Meanwhile opposing Nato is universal for pacifists.
Opposing the world's largest mutual defense pact is "universal for pacifists"...?
Bro lmfao
That relies on the idea that the global north needs protection from the global south, nato has committed some of the worse atrocities ever committed.
This is why it's such a great test, people really cannot help by tell on themselves like this.
Maybe capitalism should have made sure we didn't need 2-3 jobs all at 40 hours a week just to pay rent and groceries. Buying a home? Forget it.
Are you replying to the wrong person?
No, propaganda and subterfuge are less effective against a populace who has their needs met and live comfortably. Capitalism no longer does this for anyone but the wealthy.
Okay but like I never made any statements in favor of capitalism. I just called Tankies a bunch of shitheads.
You really cannot extrapolate
Theres extrapolation and then theres you having an unrelated discussion and projecting your imaginary opponent onto me.
We're on a post about capitalism. If this is too much for you, perhaps the puddle of drool before you would be more accommodating.
I never said the post was wrong in any way, I offered valuable advice to OP and other users here.
And I was saying people have a real reason to be disenfranchised and its not all propaganda.
Okay thats fine, the fuck does that have to do with my response to this post?
