We can go on and on and on and on and on.

If one is an "anti tankie", then it must follow that one must be against these kinds of policies.

Progressives and leftists DREAM of having these things. But they're committed to being against the tankies.

They have yet to demonstrate how the masses are supposed to get these benefits by negotiating and appealing to the good graces of capitalists.

But they're TERRIFIED at the prospect that the people.may do these exact things AT GUNPOINT. As if they know those guns are meant for them.

Maybe if you don't want to be killed or imprisoned by a worker's state, stop...sabotaging it?

Not to mention these countries historically and relatively are far more patient with internal saboteurs than capitalist countries. Ask the Black Panthers, the union leaders, even the liberal BLM/Occupy protestors, how nominally going against American hegemony went for them...

The Indonesians chopped their communists into little pieces and fed them to the crocodiles.

That is just so fucking sad. Imagine murdering people because they didnt want other people to go hungry.

~1,000,000 people were killed out of fear of a working class takeover in Indonesia, carried out by Suharto at the behest of the US and British governments. This "Jakarta method" of pushing back communist movements through extreme violence was then exported all over the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesian_mass_killings_of_1965%E2%80%9366

Honestly though. When you actually study the context of the political purges in the USSR it's almost frustrating how forgiving the party under Stalin was in the beginning. Like things eventually escalated to extremity because they kept forgiving saboteurs and opportunists.

Obligatory reminder that for example Zinoviev and Kamenev were expelled from the party three times before getting accused of treason, while just the stunt they pulled shortly before the revolution would be enough for them to meet the wall in every single capitalist country (and they weren't even kicked out back then so not included in those three times).
