Your community for poking fun at the bullshit tankies say and spread.
Rules:
-
No tankie talking points. That includes the classics (denial of genocide of Uyghurs, denial of ML dictator's crimes, campism, calling everyone you disagree with a liberal or CIA etc.) and general shit opinions (general genocide denial, antisemitism, racism, queerphobia, etc.)
-
MLs are not communists. They never actually worked towards it and there are some who don't even define it as a stateless, classless, egalitarian society. So MLs shouldn't be called communists in the first place. Calling hating MLs anticommunism will probably expose you as either a tankie or a right winger, both of which aren't welcome here.
-
Right-wingers, fash, nazis, nazbols etc. are not welcome! Right wing talking points (such as anti-woke, anti-queer, speaking favorably of far right figures, being anti-antifa etc.) will get you banned pretty quickly.
-
Please respect people's pronouns. Deliberately misgendering people repeatedly is going to lead you to have issues with the mods. Defending misgendering will get you banned.
-
No brigading. People caught brigading in this comm will be banned. Also we oppose brigading in other comms. Keep the discussions and stuff within the comm.
-
On near-east topics: Nakba is an established fact. The (ongoing) Palestinian genocide is a fact. Israel commits crimes against Palestinians. No anti-Arab (such as Palestinians and Druze) sentiments allowed (it falls under racism anyways). In regards to Israel, do not dehumanize civilians. Saying shit like "there are no civilians in Israel/Palestine" will get you permabanned.
-
Be kind to one another. Try to deescalate any fights.
Content guidance:
Anti-ML memes, screenshots and humor are allowed.
For general discussion threads please ask.
If there is demand, we can do a open discussion thread once a month. But it will get locked if in escalates into a dumpster fire.
When no small number of Tankies want to trap us in the car for the sake of spurring on class consciousness and a crisis of capitalism, then yeah, that kind of a squeaky door could be a legitimate problem too. And those who aren't accelerationists are either too quiet with their support or, on the other hand, hardly do anything but complain about everything as though it's the worst possible thing ever, which reduces voter engagement because it's hard to be excited to actually go out and vote when you have to choose between the lesser of two genocide-level evils.
