Been seeing a lot of people coming in here handwringing about 'red fash' and 'muh authoritarianism.'
Figuring that this will be a common occurrence for a while, so wanted to make a collective thread here. The purpose of this is to just have one spot as so we don't fill up the comm with a ton of posts about it.
Post away, comrades!
Sorry guys, we're now klansmen. Never underestimate the ability for liberals to completely lose all attachment to reality. Give them another year and they will be posting on /r/retconned about how they could've sworn Hillary Clinton was elected in 2016.
You know what really irks me about these fucking anti-tankie “leftists”. What is your theory of change without violence as a necessary tool? What ability can any party have to create or maintain a revolution without authority? I can’t even imagine what the answer these smooth brains would produce to these questions. And I do not plan on asking.
The obvious answer is democracy I guess but all you have to do is learn about the history of the PKI in Indonesia to understand that under bourgeoisie dictatorship democratic levers of power will only be allowed to exist in so far as they do not meaningfully challenge capital. Any step past that point without a gun and a militant organization means you are marked for death. Even getting close to the line is probably enough for the knives to come out.
When the fascist culling of internal enemies begins in full force do these supposed communists and leftists really think that “um ackshually mr. jackboot I had a strict anti-tankie moderation policy on the lemmy instance i moderated” will be enough to save them? It may be enough to get them a position as an infiltrator but they have to understand on some level that both sides understand to be wary of ever trusting a spy once they have revealed themselves, not to mention those positions are limited.
That’s really all I see when I look at these fucking pathetic stormfront leftists. A bunch of wanna bee informants, consciously or unconsciously, just preparing themselves for their positions w/ the feds. Absolutely disgusting. The fixation on the term Tankie is incredibly revealing and a sure sign of someone who cannot be trusted IMO.
These past few days have been something else. I am so grateful for the community the mods and the devs have cultivated here. Stalin shouldn’t have stopped in Berlin. Mao was always right about landlords. Che “genociding” the mafia batistianos was cool and good. Bless all your Tankie hearts.
At best they're extremely naïve and historically illiterate. At worst, Vaushite ready-to-be-collaborators like you mentioned, or one step from taking off their mask and joining NAFO.
I'm pretty sure this is a typo, but it's quite fitting since it's an apt description of beehaw.
Props to @CARCOSA for that one
