while another mod said that @muad_dibber@lemmygrad.ml is funded by the NED.
What is the NED? I have no idea, but Google suggests that could be The National Endowment for Democracy (NED), an independent, nonprofit foundation dedicated to the growth and strengthening of democratic institutions around the world.

    you address tankies directly I recommend going for broad-strokes arguments and questions and refuse to let yourself be dragged into areas that can’t be wikipedia’d quickly, say, the status of unions in the USSR.

    Not doing basic research to own the tankoids

    And, just for the record, yes, even Anarchists technically form vanguards. From “farming commune doing its thing and writing revolutionary poetry” to “Let’s stop right-wing militias from slaughtering native people and then live among the natives and talk about humanism”, see Chiapas)

    Lmao I can tell this person is white. The Zapatistas aren’t “living among the natives.” They are the fucking natives. And certainly not anarchists

    Also, Tankiedom is a CONTELPRO programme, their purpose is to make lefitsts in general look bonkers and inherently oppressive. Convince me otherwise

    Things with evidence of CIA and FBI interference are just tankie paranoia. But thing without proof is an FBI op because they annoy me

      I really get irritated by (usually white) anarchists pandering to liberal identity politics in one breath and then claiming third-world movements as "anarchist" that came from other traditions and have explicitly clarified they aren't anarchist.
