what now
Be gentle, and don't let dumbasses push sectarian nonsense. MoreTankieAntiwork is going to be a more effective pipeline if it's at least cordial to the existing Antiwork sub vibes, just with more Parenti & Lenin.
in this house we believe
anarchists are tankies
marxist-leninists are left-libertarians
liberalism is a coherent ideology
compromise with fascists is necessary
socialist entryism is possible but people simply don't want it
electoral politics is the be-all and end-all of activism
defunding the police only means that they have to buy store brand cheetos
everything should be measured in terms of "cost to individual taxpayers" with the fuzziest math possible
The concept of "moretankieantiwork" is sectarian in itself.
If you concede to "tankie" meaning anything at all, yes. Redditors will even call some anarchists "tankies", though. Depends on how it's moderated, I suppose.
Regardless, he's right that it will be more effective if the vibe stays similar, and you at least cut away sectarianism when it's just devoid-of-fact arguing.
Yeah, to the vast majority of people who actually use "tankie" as an insult, it just means anyone left of Joe Biden
Yes, but if they're going to do it it's better to try to avoid becoming r/KronstadtArgumentEmporium immediately.
It’s Reddit. It’s more about consuming the same information in the aesthetic you prefer
ShitAntiworkSays (assuming that this doesn't already exist)
okay just created this and set it to restricted posting to hopefully keep chuds out
no idea what im doing so happy to transfer it to any comrades who have better ideas
Someone should make /r/moreanarchistantiwork too, it fits the antiwork vibe (anti-authoritarian and proto syndicalist) and would be nice to have an anarchist sub on reddit that isn't run by sectarians/libs/children and more about anti-China than anti-capitalism.
I'd do it but I'm so, so, so very done with that website.
Aww man that sounds like a lotta work.
I'm down to help though for real.
Waiting for r/lesstankiethanmoretankieantiworkbutstillmoretankiethanthenormalantiwork personally.
For what it’s worth, I talked to the r/antiwork mods last night. With how big of an influx of users they have right now, it seems like they’re moderating pretty aggressively, but they haven’t given us a reason to think we’re not working toward the same thing: radicalizing libs and pipelining them into union activity and direct action
That's what i don't get, making alternate subreddits in case the main gets nuked is okay, but if it gets banned then reddit will likely ban the alts as well like they did with cth. And if we make alternate subs because we think the og mods are libs, they've been involved with anarchist subs for a while.
I'm pretty sure it's because people aren't sure about the mods. Reddit communities can be really hit-and-miss with moderation, usually much more on the side of miss, so many (myself included, honestly) assume the worst when they see things starting to be removed. Most people here aren't familiar with the mods there, so the general opinion of them is still developing.
Yeah, that's what i assume as well with the "let's coup the sub" comments, but it takes a look at the sidebar to see that it's not even the anarcholibs who mod it.
People don't necessarily know the mods as well as you do, though. A look at the sidebar might not mean much for many. I'm just saying, people just see Reddit and assume the worst.
I’ve got r/leftantiwork. Growing a subreddit in its early days is basically obsessive posting, cross posting, and promotion (likely here)
