For those unfortunate enough to have read all of my exchange with the .mler above, notice how I simply stopped engaging and this person is still spinning?

They schizopost and spin in place because I refuse their revisionist history โ€” but I'm unhinged?

If you were one of those people who were unsure of what tankies are, this person is the classic example. The only difference is they aren't providing Chinese and Russian sources to back their words up โ€” because I've already addressed it as a strategy they use in this thread. A strategy that ends up being quickly exposed in any space outside of their safe spaces.

Seriously, look up what happened in the Gulags โ€” actually, look up the Holodomor. They, .mlers, love to point at failures of the U.S. like Jim Crow, but will do everything in their power to explain away the failures of the Soviet Union. Because, in their addled minds, the West is actually the devil and there is no war in Ba Sing Se.

Back to my character: Thank you for enlightening me comrade! I am now very much a communist and no longer burdened by the lies of the West. I have new lies-- uh, I mean truths to follow!

Edit 2: this has been your lesson in not engaging with extremists.

Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Rules:

  1. No bigotry of any kind.
  2. No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
  3. No genocide or atrocity denial

We allow posts about tankie behavior, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. Please redirect any Fediverse tankie-posts to !MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works to avoid bringing drama to Piefed.social

Curious about non-tankie leftism? If you've got a little patience for 19th century academic style, let a little Marx and Kropotkin be your primer!

Marx's Communist Manifesto, short and accessible! Highly recommended if you haven't read it

Kropotkin's Conquest Of Bread

Selected works of Marx
