At what age are you supposed to stop hoping for a more equal world and start cheering on the billionaires destroying the planet? I'm in my 40's and I might be a little behind.
Stalin and Mao are not the kind of people you follow when you want a more equal world or you're seriously misguided.
That's why real lefties don't defend them.
A tankie is every bit as real of a leftist as an anarchist or demsoc imo. Tankies suck balls, no question. But to say that they're not true leftists is kinda dumb. A typical convinced tankie well and truly believes that they are fighting for equality and the path towards communism.
Uh huh.
Explain where socialism is best enacted through genocide, imperialism, and the creation of a rigid and often hereditary heirarchy.
I don't think it can realistically be done. I think Vanguardist shenanigans lead to state capitalism. That being said, reformists have a damn slim chance of replacing capitalism as well. We still call them leftists, no? What about social democrats? Mutualists? Those don't even want socialism at all.
They are still leftists, even if they suck at leftism.
