Tankies aren't even leftists, they just think they are because someone decades ago got the idea to dress yet another heirarchy in a red flag and claim that it was temporary.

Nooooooo bro come on, you just gotta read more theory. /s
Your impression is spot on.
Let's tell them that to their face
Look, I hate tankies as much as the next person, but these posts are getting so boring. Call out tankies in the comments, not in posts.
The posts are the bait. They can't resist em.
just saying, lemm.ee is federated with .ml and even hexbear and i only see this stuff coming from .world.
What stuff?
Leftist infighting during the second rise of fascism. I don't recall ever seeing a Lemmy tankie insult anarchists or argue for defederation,and there's more than a little truth to the saying that rabid anti-communists/Marxists always end up turning out to be pro-fascists in the end.
On the other hand, the tankies are spreading Putin's propaganda so... Stop Fucking Doing That first.
Forget Stalin apologia, stop helping the 2025 fascists.
Forget Stalin apologia, stop helping the 2025 fascists.
Agreed. Sadly the tankies are having serious trouble with both parts. Like I said, there was a chance in 2024 to postpone fascism another 4 years, but they shit on kamala for her Gaza record instead, "genocide Joe," etc. And now everyone else is the bad guy for leftist infighting? Fuck ALL of that shit. There's another dimension to the political spectrum beyond right and left, and it's authoritarian and libertarian, and I can not stress this enough, FUCK. AUTHORITARIANS.
If it were Kamala she would be doing exactly what Trump is doing. The Democrats have been thouroughly demonstrated by this point to be fascists, their fascist program just rolls a little bit slower and more competently than the Republican one.
The two-party system is a myth. A sham democracy. More fake that Putin's election numbers. America is ruled by a single political party which has two factions, and every ounce of energy that is spent trying to prop up one faction or the other is energy wasted.
I was talking about these extremely cringe anti-tankie memes. There's no equivalent from tankie spaces.
Your point? We don't pick on them because they pick on us. It's because they shill for Mao, Stalin, Kim, etc.
Do you want to make one anticommunist post for every member of leftist instances?
We're all already left, Tankies aren't left despite what they say, see: Stethoscope theory
Meanwhile Trump just keeps on Trumping
