"Reactionary is just a made-up word to justify lumping in non-MLs with fascists"
Getting confusing because MLs are reactionary
What the hell even is that word? Does that mean that you react to something? Because everyone does.
I'm seeing the word thrown around lately and it's one of the dumber reductionist labels I've seen in my lifetime.
did you get banned from Google or something? It's a common word in political science dating back to the French revolution, not some weird new invention.
I can't tell if everyone itt is being sarcastic or smth
what kind of a world are we living in where people can just make up words to describe whatever concept they want
Thanks Derrida

What if they forgot that communism can't be authoritarian nor a regime
Hannah Arendt worked for the CIA.

Documenting hate-speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse
What is a Tankie?
(caution of bias)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism or any variation of Tankie Ideology. There is no justifying Genocide.
Revisionism — Downplaying or denying atrocities past and present will result in an immediate ban.
If you're violating instance rules, you'll typically be warned. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.
