You’ve seen tankies around. They’re the ones who believe that all the world’s evils are the product of imperialism and the only country capable of imperialism is the United States. It looks like th...
We are simultaneously a tiny fringe group of radical weirdos but also a huge loud rabble constantly derailing well-intentioned US foreign policy with the raw power our hectoring unreasonable criticism.
Because their activists are paid and funded part of the threat is that any increase in the number of tankies means that they need to increase the size of their paid for base of activists. If they don't, there is a real threat.
One of the key things we discuss behind the scenes over here in the UK is how Starmer showing up to a random town in the UK would get like 40-100 people turnout whereas we could send Corbyn literally anywhere in the UK and have thousands show up to hear him, that doesn't just happen because people like him, it happens because our local activists work their asses off.
A paid for base of activists is insignificant compared to an activated base of unpaid but ideologically dedicated people. They will work their asses off for no pay to make sure thousands turn out for Jez because people believe in him and it activates them.
This is a similar situation with the growing fear of tankies who will do the same thing when you activate them properly. Utterly dedicated people who will spend all day everyday on the cause when it's right. That costs the bougies billions to achieve with money and there's a real threat in it because it will cost them a fortune to fight or actually achieve something eventually.
It really depends on how much they pay staff to work on it. And that's the point, they have to pay staff to work on it or fuck all will show up.
Thousands will show up to Corbyn because people who do not have to be paid a penny will throw their heart and soul at it to make it happen.
This is the same problem the bougies face with the growing number of tankies. It costs them a fucking fortune to equal what we do for free. Every single new tankie created costs them more and more. Eventually there is also a point at which more money will not actually successfully counter us due to diminishing returns.

Broke: Working for money
Woke: Working for spite
Exactly.

Damn, a really good writeup, saved and :gold-communist:-pilled
