Anti-"tankies" barely hide their racism anymore. Most anti-tankies are cowardly neoliberals (I repeat myself) that need bullets in their heads, if they can't be reformed.
Their levels of racism, gaslighting, minimizing, projection, annoyance, false equivalency, and laziness drives my anger to a boil that makes the Planck-Temperature look like fucking ice cream-absolute zero with a douse of liquid nitrogen by comparison.
Western leftist: I want socialism!
Reactionary: no, you don’t! Venezuela is not doing great and it’s socialist. ignores context of sanctions its also, evil and brown.
Western leftist: well, then I don’t want that kind of socialism. I want a new whiter, purer socialism like Western Europe.
Did western Europe stop being western?
I think QueerCommie means to joke about Western leftists who think Scandinavian social democracy is socialism.
I think it's called feudalism?
Personally I'd want to deal with this kind of people only if they directly interfere with Marxist movement and I wouldn't mind not interacting with them at all. This idealist ideology has very little revelance outside of it's inner circles and I see no reason to care about it, at least for the sake of our mental health. I'm just glad they are not here and don't have the opportunity to posion this community with their infantile hostility towards Marxists-Leninists.
this is more supposed to be a point and laugh post
I get the sentiment, but I don't think anti-tankies should be left unconfronted.
Tankies are closer in spirit to reactionaries and share the goals of capitalists (to themselves, not together).
We can let them fight with each other. Leftists don't need to mind their squabbles.
I haven't looked at the specific example you posted, this is just in general about anti-tankie leftists:
It makes sense to me that anti-authoritarian leftists would be against authoritarianism even if it's left leaning, just like they're also against libertarian right
Putting aside the fact that authoritarian and “tankie” are meaningless at this point, it’s still telling that these so called “leftists” always seem to spend 90+% of their time fighting “tankies” instead of reactionaries
On a diet but still willing to eat the rich (and their reactionary lackeys).
