The projection and irony on display is legendary.

you look for certain patterns and the sources they cite and say “eh, not worth reading”, and also “eh, not worth replying to” because talking to a tankie is talking to a TV. They have a closed world-view

refuse to let yourself be dragged into areas that can’t be wikipedia’d quickly

Literally admitting to not wanting to read or learn anything from sources that might educate you or change your mind, while proclaiming that MLs are the ones that have a closed worldview.

because talking to a tankie is talking to a TV

If anyone can be compared to a TV it's a liberal, because they like to repeat every bit of state department line they see on mainstream television.

at which point they disagree with Stalin which means that he did, in fact, do things which were not right, which is inconsistent with what they believe in declaring themselves (and of course Stalin etc) infallible

I've never met a single ML who honestly believed that communists and communist leaders are incapable of making mistakes, or that they are infallible. Criticism and self-criticism are important parts of Marxism, but of course this lib wouldn't know that, because they admitted they don't read.

Trots who are cringe but perfectly fine human beings

Yes, that's totally what a real anarchist would say, and not a liberal who has no understanding of Trotskyism who will support the trots just because they're opposed to those darn authoritarian tankies! I'm sure their opinion wouldn't have been any different if Stalin and Trotsky's roles were reversed...

(And, just for the record, yes, even Anarchists technically form vanguards. From “farming commune doing its thing and writing revolutionary poetry” to “Let’s stop right-wing militias from slaughtering native people and then live among the natives and talk about humanism”, see Chiapas).

Yeah.. this person is definitely a Vaushite larper, and really does not understand the concept of revolutionary vanguardism, and why anarchists don't like it.

of course the CIA must be behind that. It’s pure projection.

Says the lib who can't stop projecting, and just open a book for once in their life.

Also, Tankiedom is a CONTELPRO programme, their purpose is to make lefitsts in general look bonkers and inherently oppressive. Convince me otherwise).

Shit, they got me. I work for the feds. After decades of targeting tankies and infiltrating tankie organizations, they're now funding the tankies! Oh yeah, I'm also being funded by the NED, by the way. Known for spreading communism throughout the world. They offered me a better paycheck than Soros, so I couldn't resist.

I feel sorry for my fellow anarchist comrades that libs like this have been infecting online anarchist spaces with their Vaushite brained nonsense, and making you look like uneducated libs.
