"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"

Welcome to MoG!


Meanwhile On Grad


Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!


What is a Tankie?


Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.

(caution of biased source)


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, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.

Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.

Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.

Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.

You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

I thought MLs were against reformism and gradualism. They always state that you need mass revolution and a vanguard party. Now you're telling me that the end result of the revolution and vanguard party is.... more gradual reforms????

how long does it take to "fold in" those billionaires into poverty like the people they exploit?

"Gradual reforms, but now those of us in the party are reaping the benefits of the corrupt system instead of those filthy non-party members"

Give us absolute control and we'll give it back after we created paradise, pinky-swear!

No no, the billionaires (and any landlord at all even including the nice old lady that rented us the punk house, and any small business owners that employ 1+ person other than themselves, and any farmers that won't give their crop to the glorious revolution™, and...) will be dead and replaced by the autocrats, I mean vanguard party, which will wither away and cede power willingly as they become no longer necessary eventually.

It's not stupid and naive at all!

What grinds my gears about MLs is they have the nerve to call anarchists naive.
