I agree we need more lib or at least SocDem exposure and certain "Tankie" habits may need to be curtailed. I just disagree with having mods repress Tankieposting to achieve it.
Engage with your Tankie comrades. Explain what it takes to draw people in, when to hit them with insults, etc. Really, I think they have a problem with dismissing other tendencies when they have valid arguments they could make. "You don't like China" isn't an argument. "This is a Trotksyist site" isn't an argument. " This is why Stalin and China are good actually" is an argument.
We need some revised interpretation of the code of conduct. Include tendency protections. Maybe allow sectarianism a bit more? Idk. I've had some joking bits get taken down by mods and I feel like that's constraining humour, while not addressing the hostile sectarianism. Kind of attacking that classic Chapo vibe from both ends.
