The DM was a DM asking us to change our no tankies policy and remove the fuck tankies banner as it was apparently upsetting hexbear users. Apparently tankies view the word tankie as a form of slur. The admin wants us to ally as a form of “left solidarity”
As opposed to the democratic political system in china I assume? I’m so fucking sick of American “leftists” simping for the boots they haven’t felt.

I’m not American you dumbfuck. And I engage in queer-left activism where I live.
How the fuck do you plan to establish a socialist regime in an imperialist world? The revolution, if it’s to last, needs to be global. Even militarily capable projects like Rojava are entirely dependent on the imperialist instincts of the fucking US state department or the CCP as-is.
To claim geographical distance of human rights violations and authoritarian geopolitical interests matters in an age where it takes a few days to circle the world and all global trade in interdependent is all but identical to enabling the genocides at ‘home’, and tankies will get the fucking wall for it :3

I’m not assuming, I’m stating that tankies are mostly an american phenomena. And no, advocating a violent grassroots revolution is not authoritarian… have you read a book? Ever?

Not all mind you (you just grouped Cuba, Bolivia and China and you should be executed once for each of those deranged comparisons) but the people you’re reffering to - the ones you think prove tankies are more than a western fad - are mostly just fascists (reffering to China specifically). Tankies are a category of external self-proclaimed socialists singing the praises of foreign fascist regimes, not the members of the regimes themselves.
Firstly, etymological fallacy. Secondly, you’re on an anarchist lemmy, do you think anyone uses the term “authoritarianism” to mean revolution? Thirdly, while I haven’t read Engels’ independent work, based on the writing of adjacent authors this is absolutely does not reffer to anarchists opposing China and the like today. If you pointed Engels (or at least Marx, again) at China and said ‘you did it’ he would show your fucking neck a revolution.
If your country is fucked up you can go and focus on that. I’m not particularly partial to any country, but as I said, knowing people like you irl, I can bet you my left pinky toe I’ve done more to fix the political landscape in my immediate proximity.** The more important part to me is how incredibly interested you are in international issues, until someone suddenly brings up an issue with China, at which point it’s suddenly guys America bad too **as if anyone is unaware. What are your thoughts on the Uyghur genocide? The Holodomor?
I got Vegas on the phone, I bet my first born on you finding a way to slip out of answering like the little bootlicker bitch that you are :3
And you ‘being here first’ makes you no less of a redditor. It’s a state of mind.

Never seen anyone so proud of being a weasely bitch and dodging uncomfortable topics they know they’d get their ass stretched on. Myb a toddler but pretty sure my lil brother was better than this at that age too.
I genuinely don’t know where you got ‘mad’ from, I enjoy every second of debate, I literally did it for sport. Smarter commie friens around me then tho. I assure you getting dunked on and flustered about your inability to adress points isn’t contingent on the emotional state of the other person and I’d imagine even for terminally online trolls ‘u mad?’ is getting a bit tired by now.
And bud, for the last time, a revolution isn’t authoritarian and neither is killing those defending the state, be they brown or brown with a thin red coat of paint. Sorry that you’ve been pushed by TOS-enforced lib civility politics to think this is a spicy take or ‘being mad’, but when rehabilitation’s out of frame, all of you, assumming you are indeed a fasc like you seem to be, will catch a bullet :)
