Yeah, I don't want to be a "Everything is an op" guy but it is kinda suspicious how quickly all this misplaced anti 'tankie' sentiment has enveloped a lot of online leftist spaces.
I think it's probably just a case of westerners, particularly Americans, rediscovering socialism and trying to reinvent the wheel without actually knowing anything or doing any critical examination of the propaganda they've absorbed. The "op" was the last 50 years of anti-communist and end-of-history brainwashing.
this was basically me as a 'not real communism' teenager. I'd be like, "oh so DeLeonism must be right path since obviously everything else was a failure. It looks really nice on the wikipedia page!"
now I've learned to stop worrying and love the tank :stalin-joking:
What the hell happened to the majority of Anarchist spaces on Reddit? They used to be good but now it's just a constant "Tankies bad" circlejerk
Vaush fans (children who don't know what Anarchism is) and the CIA :cia:

True, that makes sense
I only visit /r/Anarchy101 to check if they had their weekly “What’s the deal with tankies thread?”. Which is not even a question
