    Well, that is contrary to my experience. Most of them say tear it down and destroy it and then if it survives, fill it with communism. That’s anarchy.

        Lots of lip service coming from them in that regard.

          They like to talk about left unity, but all their heros sent the secret police after “left socialists” like anarchists and unionists

            Their heroes are just textbook communists they throw around.

            I bet if you gave each one a billion dollars they wouldn’t share a dime. Everyone’s a communist when they’re poor.

        I’ll agree it’s weaker than my ability to identify a communist. So whatever you call them, it’s not communism. It’s just lip service.

          I can appreciate the desire of modern communists to avoid a repeat of how things went with the USSR, China, etc. However, I don’t think you can wholly repudiate the tankies as non-communist.

            Make them rich and see how communist they really are.

              I mean, I guess, maybe? I think Marxism-Leninism is a fucked up ideology, but I don’t categorically doubt the sincerity of MLs. They’d probably put any sudden windfall towards some sort of vanguard party centralized power bullshit that they think will eventually lead to communism, as is consistent with their ideas.

              As an anarchist, I don’t think that would be a good use of the money, but I don’t have any particular reason to believe that they’d be more hypocritical about it than any other communist or leftist.

                Everyone is a communist/anarchist when they’re poor.

      Marxism-Leninism/Stalinism fell out from communism and with its purges can be considered anti-communist.
