I read through most of that thread and christ it is tiring, I agree. Historically illiterate bastards equating China to Nazi Germany left and right with only a couple voices of reason.

Their idea of MLs is completely incoherent. What, do I want to be a dictator? I am actively averse to personally having authority, that shit is too much of a hassle, I get a headache just imagining it for the sake of counterargument.

So what do I actually want? Since these people seem to think being ML is just pure "authoritarianism" with no true beliefs of any kind.

I want people to be fed, clothed, housed, educated, and so on [in short: their needs provided for] and I want the entity doing that to defend itself from the capitalists seeking to undermine that process. It's a very simple desire and something that, for all the valid criticism you can make of the CPC, something it does, as does the DPRK.

You really described it the best, it's just tiring.

Edit: I wonder how many overt neoliberals are there chanting hand-in-hand with those so-called "anarchists"

even banned users are evading and participating in a community it calls reactionary and transphobic just to stick it to hexbear tankies

These people are a hair's breadth from posting that Patton "we fought the wrong enemy" quote

Hey what do you know, some of them can think for themselves:

@BigBlackCockroach@lemmy.world

I’m an anarchist, we don’t call anybody tankies. Tankies is a term coming from the UK i think the 80s some eastern european nation was taken over by the USSR and some Brittish came out in support of it. So they were called tankies.

These political fighting words need to be layed to rest. Communists hate me as much as anybody else but I’d rather engage on the idea level instead of ad hominem attacks and name calling.

I suspect this whole tankie thing might be a coordinated propaganda campaign geared at discrediting communists and at the same time creating tension between them and other leftits. I suspect this as this whole infighting over small differences doesn’t lead to a victory for the left but effectively disables and neutralizes it.

Who? What?

Kinda weird that they hate “red fash” more than regular fash

they never get tired of this meme. you'd think they'd have got all the tankies by now, but somehow they keep popping up to call them libs!

i know HornyOnMain was calling out the most obvious nazis there. Props to her but I wouldn't make a second account for an instance I liked, let alone one that sucks bad.
