Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. For a more general community [email protected] is recommended.
Reminder to everyone: this is a libertarian socialist space. Anti communist my ass.
I had a Tankie get mad at me yesterday for supporting "Big Ag" by joking about Trump saying he would bring down egg prices and I should stop posting about silly nonsense.
Lemmy users, known for their exquisite brand of humor.
Yeah, that was some baffling shit. Makes me wonder if it's some sort of bot.
Well, if they define communist as USSR and China, then yes, I would fit the description
We are all anti communist reactionaries on this blessed day
hey, I remember this loser! Dessalines banned me from [email protected] for linking sources disproving his genocide denialism about Uyghurs
There is a large amount of rhetoric out there meant to narrow down opinion into more narrow common groups, both for self-ide tity, and for applying to other people. You're either a tankie or a tech-bro; they're either a libtard or a maga-nut.
I think a lot of people put too much stock into labeling themselves. I could probably get more specific with my identity but communist is close enough and if we need to get more specific than that we can talk about the specifics about what I actually believe.
I would consider a communist identity if it weren't for the major examples of communism in application and how poorly people were treated. Can I consider communism but reject Stalinism and Maoism?
Those were not communism, not even socialism. Just state capitalism. Yes, you can consider communism without either of those joke ideologies.
Who should I read after Marx/Angels. Anyth8ng newer?
I finally blocked that account because fuck that guy
Yeah he's annoying. Also he's just the run of the mill tankie, and called me an "anti-communist" despite literally being in the community rules that this is a socialist space, lmfao.
