They are just socialists on a more national, local level. So they're basically just like "grow and buy local" liberals that oppose the fascist Drumpf! To those red fascist tankies in the room, LEARN TO READ GERMAN you TANKIES! smuglord

To the non-tankies interested, join us on our lemmy instance where we discuss, among other things: epic bacon memes, i fucking love science videos, and a whole host of other mid to late 2000s internet humor because our brains are stuck in that era and we became the boomers we hated so much!

EDIT: Thanks for the reddit gold everyone!!

      Nice try tankie, but North Korea is actually not a democracy. They may call it that, but they are authoritarian and the people are basically zombie drones who blindly follow the leader. Unlike here in the US, where we freely chose our democratically elected leaders!

        Who the fuck goes to an outhouse and is like "man, I sure could go for a cookie while I'm doing my business?"

        1700s guys were gross.

    There are many possible responses to this but the one I've settled on is "So you believe what the Nazis said?"

      "So you believe what the Nazis said?"

      When don't they? It's often wrapped in "yes Hitler was bad, but dae le trains ran on time dae le science from death camp torture" Boogie1488 takes.

    To paraphrase Engels:

    These gentlemen think that when they have ascertained the names of things they have ascertained the very nature of the things themselves. This is how these profound thinkers mock at the whole world.

        It's from On Authority:

        When I submitted arguments [about the nature of authority] to the most rabid anti-authoritarians, the only answer they were able to give me was the following: Yes, that's true, but there it is not the case of authority which we confer on our delegates, but of a commission entrusted!

        These gentlemen think that when they have changed the names of things they have changed the things themselves. This is how these profound thinkers mock at the whole world.
