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.
Speak for yourself... anarchists are very prone to using that term to describe the technocratic left. I know, I'm one of them.
Hi nice to meet you, friend! 😃
did you ignore the rest of what they were saying like how you ignored reading your own books
Oooh... somebody is upset.
Im just confused, the rest of the statement is there, but ya seem like you just wanted to do a quip, but it makes no sense afterward. You seem to be a very teenage leftist. I was told the whole 'only teens are commies' thing was a lie, but yall jus act like em.
Don't overthink it... just bury your nose in copium and keep your eyes on everything that glitters, okay?
you're sure not doin yourself any favors
You mean I'm not doing you any favors. And that is perfectly fine with me.
thats...
thats what I said...
kid are you up past your bedtime, this is pathetic
Aaaaand... I'm still not doing you any favors.
Aaaaand... that's still perfectly fine with me.
hopefully you'll grow a brain soon kid, because it may be just terminal stupidity ya got
cant you just have a serious conversation without appealing to trying to offend others?
I'm actually trying really hard here... I'm not the one derailing it at every turn.
