Sparkly!
"Bolsheviks aren't leftists" is an argument, bud. And what you're supposed to do, if you want to respond, is address the argument, not something else that you find easier to attack
When we've decided on what the leftmost remaining instance is, we'll know which one to call the tankie instance and say it has been promoting tankie propaganda.
No
I see a lot more whining about tankies than I see actual tankies.
It's incorrect to assume that your personal experience is a good representation of reality in general
It won't be that hard. When another instance promotes tankie propaganda, it's the tankie instance. Dialectics really rots the brain, comrade.
Red fascism playbook: when there's nothing bad to accuse leftists of, make up some future offense
Nothing about that changes the fact that Bolsheviks aren't leftists. You guys have never seen an argument that you didn't dodge with a red herring or straw man.
Red fascists: claim to be leftists, behave like Nazis. Leftists: "Fuck off, Nazis." Red fascists: :surprised pikachu:
I've seen them actively celebrate that they don't suffer from "Trump derangement syndrome" like liberals (supposedly) do. The longer you watch them, the more pro-fascism you see slip through
It suits you!
So hot! I love a mix of playful and sexy
There are some common misconceptions about dictionary definitions, including 1) that they're prescriptive and 2) that they're complete. In reality, at least for English, dictionaries are descriptive, meaning they attempt to describe how words are commonly used (where "commonly used" is a non-exact metric whose meaning is decided by the group compiling the dictionary); and they're incomplete in a number of ways. A dictionary provides a starting point for understanding words we don't know or are unfamiliar with, but there's a reason people go to school for years to study specific subjects in depth--a depth that's lacking in the dictionary definition.
