This is so fucking funny, just the owner of the sub trying to clarify basic leftist positions and get downvoted by even bigger liberals.
I love this idea that tankies are constantly taking over every subreddit
This has been true but not in the way they claim. Ideological spread has occurred and a shitload of modteams became much more radical than they were previously.
The takeover occurred in their minds, literally.
Vaguely tempted to jump in pretending to be a liberal and accuse all libertarian socialists of being tankies because they oppose the USA’s attempts to spread democracy abroad
"We are a libertarian socialist community, we want to a radically different world, where no state exists and capitalism has been overthrown by the working class."
good luck doing that while abstaining from anything that resembles "authoritarianism".
OP: We don't support liberal democracy, we are socialists after all.
Reply: That's pretty tankie.
I don't think we could parody this any better than they do themselves.
To the left, two, three
To the left, two three
To the work that we must do
Stand tall in the Tankie United Front
For YOU are a Tankie TOO
At what point does a rejection of “liberal democracy” just become authoritarianism?
:thinking-about-it:
state capitalists, authoritarians and similar anti-communist ideologues,
(Synthetic leftist PMC voice) "Every socialist state got Marx wrong, if you want to see true revolution, you need to imitate the CHAZ, not the settler red fascist state of Cuba"
We also do not support the Ukrainian Government, the support lies with the Russian and Ukrainian people against both this imperialist invasion as well as their respective countries.
Woke leftists will never talk about finance imperialists doing the 2014 coup to privatize Ukraine's world-class farmland. These alleged "true communists" lack the most basic materialism displayed in 1/2 of the symbol of communism.
We are a libertarian socialist community,
"community" neoliberal detected
Edit: Since the post got some backlash, mostly due to me wording things badly or leaving it vague,
this has been a failure on our part to communicate effectively, and we do apologize for that. Nothing really changes,
Democrats have one strategy: "our messaging is bad, we need better messaging"
privatize Ukraine’s world-class farmland
I didn't know this. Is there a tldr anywhere?
The fate of Ukraine’s agricultural sector is on shaky ground. Last year, the Oakland Institute reported that over 1.6 million hectares (ha) of land in Ukraine are now under the control of foreign-based corporations. Further research has allowed for the identification of additional foreign investments. Some estimates now bring the total of Ukrainian farmland controlled by foreign companies to over 2.2 million ha;1 however, research has also identified important grey areas around land tenure in the country, and who actually controls land in Ukraine today is difficult to ascertain.
The companies and shareholders behind foreign land acquisitions in Ukraine span many different parts of the world.
https://www.oaklandinstitute.org/blog/who-owns-agricultural-land-ukraine
That's as of 2015. And for context, of Ukraine's total land area of 60 million hectares, roughly 42 million is classified as agricultural land.
large parts of Ukraine have a meter-deep layer of black humus that is incredibly fertile
one time i was at the grocery drinkin a gallon of milk when a buncha dang tankies surrounded me and starte d screamin "YUOR A FUCKIN MILKBOY. SPIN AND DRINK. SPIN AND DRINK.". i started cryin cause of course i'd wet myself but they kept chantin "SPIN AND DRINK". eventually my feet started spinnin on their own and before i knew i t i was a hurricane of milk and tears and pee in aisle 6.
The backtracking and reassurance that it is not a "tankie takeover" is hilarious. Of course the top comment is indignantly praising NATO too.
This is an Anti-Tankie reddit. The message you sent is either tankie/authoritarian "socialist" apologia or can be easily seen as such. Please, refrain from posting stuff like this in the future.
lol
"We want socialism but we also oppose anything that would make it happen, because of what good people we are."
Well I just brigaded and shot out five comments, one of them being the famous Parenti quote, you all better do the same
CW Hostile. I'm sorry
lmao are these the western left that it is so important to espouse campist positions in opposition to, gotta take a stand against r/tankiejerk ?
"Campist this, campist that" bro you don't know what that word means, and yes I prefer the side with the less neo-nazis to triumph over the side with more neo-nazis
Pretty simple political position any commie should find non-controversial, kinda like saying "Yes I prefer nationalist China under Chiang Kai Shek to triumph over the Empire of Japan under Hirotio" of course 1945 version of you be like "wow pretty campist of you bud, do you socialism much"
Also keep arguments in the threads they originate from, don't follow me around like a wounded puppy yapping at my heels, come on man you know better
CW Hostile. I'm sorry
It just makes a lot of sense that you spend your time on place like this in :reddit-logo: and on the bird site given the conversation :waluigi-stalin:
lol I haven't been on reddit in over four months and I don't have a twitter I'm not from Brookyln
Also you're like a month old account, don't talk to your elders like that :knifecat:
I hope this was somewhat good natured ribbing, it's always hard to tell, I switched my account for two factor ID and a different email
You need to brush up on your geopolitical Marxism, read some Samir Amin and Vijay Prashad
CW Hostile. I'm sorry
Prashad :lmayo: I have and I'm not too impressed
also definitely not impartial being almost completely bankrolled by an American pro China market socialist and working at a Chinese university as a foreigner
Capitalism is not good
Post marked as "controversial"
I can't... I just...
Lol this is like when terfs are confused by all the racists and other shit head conservatives end up on their spaces
You lay with the dogs, you get fleas, don't whine now losers :che-smile:
Looking at the hierarchy of that mod team, N8theGR8 is one userban away from turning that subreddit into a neoliberal-led weapon.
I've had direct conversations with him before and he's not leftist at all, he can't even discuss the very basic 101 marx or anarchist stuff. He's a giga liberal and he's there for what he can use it for once he's in charge.
N8theGR8
:fry:
88
Hmm, what could it stand for? :thinkin-lenin:
The Atlantic Council continues to play Reddit like a fucking fiddle.
