Anarchists like this guy are so depressing to be around.
I remember he was on Anarcho Fed Robert Evans other podcast and he was just shitting all over China and every AES state and it's like......at this point why even bother with communism?
Maybe it's like facts and logic and all socialist projects actually do suck, but at this point aren't you indistinguishable from an anticommunist lib with a red/black coat of paint? The effect is largely the same.
Also as a non white tankie I don't even understand what he's trying to say, it's not about "racial purity", it's about not letting people from your marginalized community tokenize/sell themselves to white nationalists, neoliberals and other twisted freaks in a bid to buy their own security and endanger the communities that they either grew out of or (ostensibly) represent
a Latinx ICE Bxrder Pxtrxl Agent 100% deserves to be beat to death for being a "race traitor"
bro somebody quoted grundrisse in a meme post :gaddafi-stern:
onto nerdier stuff: what do you get from grundrisse that you dont get elsewhere? isnt this just the source of all those nerdy althusserian and trotskyite debates over young marx?
They deserve that for being a border patrol agent, fuck off with that "traitor" shit.
Are these "tankies" in the room with us right now?
once i was drinking a gallon of milk in the park and some tankies came up to me and called me milkboy and made me do the milkboy dance while they chanted death to america.
But who doesn't want to do the milkboy dance? :penguin-dance:
I'M A REAL SOCIALIST. I DON'T WANT TO DO THE MILKBOY DANCE. I DON'T CARE WHAT MAO THOUGHT ABOUT THE MILKBOY DANCE HE KILLED 100 BILLION PEOPLE PER YEAR TO DO IT AND YOU PEOPLE IGNORE THAT. READ ANIMAL FARM.
When non-white tankies talk about systemic racism, they are doing a non-white supremacy
When you need to dogwhistle but also need to be subtle
You don't get called an Uncle Tom, banana, race traitor etc without their being some material history behind it. Are there going to be moments where it might go overboard? So the fuck what? Hands and feet were cut off for less when the oppressors held all the cards
If that's understood, you would also understand why focusing on the flaws of AES countries is just tunnel visioning yourself because the way they have to operate and react has to be in lockstep with the neoliberal hegemony trying to topple them in any way they can
Moreover, ICE should be destoryed unless tankies come across the border then we need ICE to fight red authoritarianism. If anyone complains my podcaster friend can shout down everyone and rant about how ICE can do good things in the right context.
At this point anyone using the word tankie unironically might as well just be saying "I'm a dumbass, please ignore me"
Using all my deciphering capabilities and desire-to-read-things-in-a-good-way I came to this translation:
"When a non-white tankie tells a non-white lib "dude, you are doing exactly what the whites in power want you to do by being a fucking lib, don't be an uncle tom", they are obviously appealing to race and deeming them less"
Thank you. My brain is no longer doing a divide-by-zero processing the statement.
from what I can tell, a tankie is currently anyone left of Nancy Pelosi
The lady that won't do a national health care program is going to be to the right of most KMT voters. And the KMT is Tankie AF. So I guess this works.
