I’m trans and I really don’t want to federated with these people if their mods are defending the -tard suffix and they aren’t getting de-modded and banned. I also don’t want to be federated with them if they ban critiquing western chauvinism.
Someone who is an admin and with more of a level head than me RN please talk to their admins about it.
The weirdest part about people calling us fascists is that a core component of fascism is anti-communism
Calling tankies fash is right out of the Nazi playbook and just comes across as the same dumb shit as right-wingers saying “Antifa are the real fascists!”
Tankies are bad / Woke are bad
Antifa are fascists / Communists are fascists
Both groups of liberals use exactly the same tactics of thought-terminating cliches when attacking leftwards. The conservative liberals do it to the democrat liberals and they then do it to us.
Ahh, but don’t you see: tankies aren’t real communists. 🤓

I do believe that there is a large swath of Western anarchists who aren’t active. By active I mean antifascist action in terms of memories or protests, squatting places, food not bombs, creating autonomous or communal spaces, helping labour fights, supporting our 2SLQTBAG allies or alike. This means they are objectively and effectively passive.
If however they start a couple of those things and get theory they often get better, but then they often switch alignments and become anarcho-communist, communalist or alike or different. Or they get good skills. At least some of that was true for me at some point in time.
i challenge you to define tankie beyond “person who disagrees with the West’s foreign policy”
