      Conservative framing: ( individualism <---> conformity ). Puts all the various minority rights on the left, fascists on the right.

      Liberal framing: ( equality <---> markets ). Puts all the social safety net and dem soc stuff on the left, libertarians on the right.

      Communist framing: (triangle with worker and state control on left, capitalist control on right ). Making it a triangle makes our version bigger and more nuanced. Yes I know the state is supposed to be a proxy for worker control; do you want this to fit on a diagram or not.

      This lets you put the Soviet Union and China somewhere in the Left/Left/State region, your favorite doomed anarchist project in Left/Left/Worker, and, like, Otto Von Strasser at the right/?/state slot. So you can finally explain to chart brains what red fash actually is supposed to mean.

    When you hear shitlibs like these dipshits use “tankie” immediately translate it into “anti-American”

    That is literally the full extent of their beef, they love empire and want “progressive” imperialism, a green nicer military, and a world order based on American English, 2.5 kids, a white picket fence and free healthcare

    The fuckers have become absolutely deranged by American mythology

    Hitler literally went after Communists first?

    I hate liberals so much. This guy gets the re-education camp to learn to post better.

    As using a Stephen Crowder bit is a thing right wing people do.

    As much as I hate when fake FBI statistics are used for the purposes of racism, they have some semblance of truth when they agree with me.

    Has science determined what these people think a tankie actually is?

    Have they ever heard of Hungary?

      Tankie means anyone who considers China or the Soviet Union to not be the worst things ever or have any skepticism about how many trillion people communism killed.

    These people live for the smell of their own farts. They can't get enough.

    Tankies: Hate liberals.

    Alt-right: Hate liberals and want them dead.

    Liberals: These guys are exactly the same!

    Why does anybody give a single shit about what western succdems think about “tankies”? They are the least influential and effective people in the world and the writing is on the wall for the empire anyways, so why even give a shit?

    Actually you're supposed to dismiss bare assertions, not humor them just because some removed decides they want to voice an unfounded opinion.
