I'm tired of this red scare bs. It belongs in history books, not on the internet.
this has nothing to do with red scare. tankies suck and its not because capitalist states say so
Also, tankies simply aren't communists.
Liberals not being able to tell the difference (E: or tankies in denial) doesn't make this anti communist.
Can you define what a “tankie” is? It absolutely is red scare bs. No one calls themselves that.
People who cheered the tanks rolling into the Czech Republic and Hungary...they're the same ones hoping Russia would roll over Ukraine to spite the liberal world order. Tankies are alive and well.
Tankies consider both to be awful (my experience), they want a weakened order for communism to restart international revolutions (what I read)
By that definition the youngest tankie would be in his seventies
Ah yes, because there is no way someone can be against capitalism while not supporting dictators.
I never suggested that. You can be against capitalism in the same way you can be for manna raining down from the heavens and feeding all the hungry. What matters is what actually happens, and when what actually happens is leftist infighting, Porky over here couldn't be happier.
Shocking.
Just checked, they really are a tankie lol
Are you... trying to own me by pointing out that you yourself applied a label to me? 🤣
The label was applied months ago. The only people getting upset in the comments are tankies.
it IS applies in bad faith, but yeah
They called themself a tankie 5 days ago. What do you want from me.
Lmao!
Yep just keep punching left 😮💨
"First they came for the **socialists**, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."

Tankies. Not leftists. Tankies specifically.
They literally came for the "tankie" KPD first, JFC.

Y’all really get weirdly triggered when someone says “we shouldn’t be arming Nazis.” Why is that?
i deffo hate some tankies, in the same way that i deffo hate some vegetarian/vegans when they actively chase people away for seemingly no reason. sometimes though i do feel like i see more blind hate for entire communities than actual worthwhile discussion.
i guess the problem could really just come down to your definition of “tankie”. to some folks it’s a very specific kind of obvious troll, and to others it’s just anyone on an .ml instance.
and not to turn it into a “lesser evil” discussion, but between .world and .ml, i definitely know which which meme community i’m hanging out in. i’ve yet to have a single bad interaction with anyone in .ml communities, but i also don’t talk politics in fucken marxist/leninist spaces either. YMMV hahahah

Ugh this type of bullshit infighting within leftist spaces is about as serious as debating your tabletop RPG actions, and sends regular people packing. None of this shit matters. Real people don't care about it and they have no idea what a tankie is. Feds love this bullshit. We're losing, we lost, the world is becoming a fascist hellscape but apparently somebody has time to make memes about fighting each other. It's amazing how that always seems to happen, especially now when you'd think most people could feel unified?
Calling tankies leftist is a stretch
Calling them something else is a stretch, all but their geopolitical beliefs are leftist
