Fuck tankies, abolish money (and the state and the class society when we are already on it)
What magical step do you think is going to get us to abolish money and have a classless moneyless society? You need a vanguard communist party to use the state apparatus to destroy the bourgeoisie in a transitory socialist phase before achieving communism (said classless moneyless society).
Sorry for the late response but what always puzzles me how do you enforce freedom I mean these are more or less contradicting things. The only way I can imagen people getting liberated is by first liberating themselves and then cooperate with like minded individuals to create a grass roots organization that's destroys and replace the old system. And not just replacing it's leadership. I mean we tried it, but it ended up being spoiled like the former leaders/system1. ( if more or less worse is debatable) it even crushed like minded individuals in the process. What I want to say people can only be free if they want to be free and if you give them a chance to develop them freely and that the means mark the ends. I myself don't know the complete plan and picture how a revolution will happen and how it will look at the end, but I have some ideas in my Head which I will work (for example promoting an gift and library economy as well as helping some orgs) to help my comrades and support the revolution. I just ask you to not make the same mistakes that our ancestors did, comrade.
You can be a communist without being a fucking tankie. Fuck off back to lemmygrad.
I'd love for you to explain exactly what you mean by "tankie"
Tankies are people who main Roadhog, Reinhardt or DVa
I think it means someone who likes doing whippets, not sure why they're bringing it up here tho
That's a wook.
Tankie Is a guy that likes propane over charcoal.
It's always just leftists who aren't western brand "leftists", i.e. completely averse to action and change.
Libs will demonize all forms of action and analysis of oppression and then wonder why things just keep getting worse despite them doing a lot of useless, performative things. In the lack of a correct theory, it always comes down to "it's those damn Asians!!!!"
Nah, we both know what I mean, don't try to sealion this. You can fuck off back to Hexbear.
The point is it tankie is an amorphous McCarthyist insult. No one knows exactly what you're saying because most of the people who use it aren't on exactly the same page. I've been called a tankie for supporting Cuba's new family code and the intensely democratic process behind it and for saying the taean work system is a good system.
Yes, we do.
You mean "Woke"
"Woke" on foreign policy...
We really don't know. Unless your definition is someone who supported the Soviet Union sending in tanks to put down the coup in Hungary, then its pretty devoid of meaning
buddy, we're already on Hexbear, that's how federation works
There are 2 types:
Marxist-Leninist - followers of the ideology of the Stalinist counter-revolution. These people are still around but are barely relevant anymore since the fall of the USSR.
Terminally online leftoid who thinks they're a Marxist-Leninist, is really just a soc-dem who hates America and likes soviet aesthetics. Believes a ton of mutually contradictory shit because they don't take communism seriously and get all their info from memes and other terminally online leftoids.
How? By not supporting any AES or any revolution that succeeded?
Fuck off back to reddit where western chauvinists are welcome
Sounds pretty tankie to me
And how do you propose we actually go about doing this?
Go back to your Fox News
What makes you think they like fox news?
Bruh what part of that made you think they watch Faux News?
Oh, lemmygrad. Away, tankie
Do you support the US sending cluster bombs, rockets and tanks to Ukraine?
Sure do. Ukraine can certainly make far better use of them defending their homes, than the US ever did using them for anything.
If Russia didn't want Ukraine using cluster bombs, rockets, and tanks, they shouldn't have used them first. Fight fire with fire.
You do realize Ukraine is using those cluster bombs on their own territory right?
For the next 30 years Ukrainian children will have their arms blown off playing catch with friends in the park, and you’re cheering
“Defending their territory”
You’re a gutless bloodthirsty pearl clutcher
Okay tankie
A nazi-loving one too, how neat
If Ukraine didn't want Russia using cluster bombs, rockets, and tanks, they shouldn't have tried to do a genocide in the Donbas
Slava Ukraini and kill the bear. Ready to set condition 1SQ for strategic nuclear launch. Hooyah America. Come and get some.
Why do you think you're a communist?
Tankie.
