"You tankies don't know communist history!" I yell as I recite literal Nazi propaganda at a Vietnamese avatar online for not getting out the vote for Kamala hard enough.

"Tankieism is Calvinism" sure is a thing that a person put down on a whiteboard. I've never seen an "anti-tankie" that wasn't some WASP type, but sure, being pro USSR and anti US is somehow magically pro-Calvinism. It really feels like that CHUD thing where they get called something as an insult (i.e. Calvinist) but don't understand it and just go "no u".
"How to deal with Tankies in your comments" really solidifies how terminally online this shit is.
Say what you will about DSA, but the mere fact that you have reformists, Anarchists, Trots, MLs, Maoists, etc. All in one org, working together, and being normal about it, would make the Anti-tankie crowd explode
Tankie is anti-vaxx, tankie is flat earther, Tankie is anti evolution, tankie is jar-jar binks
To repeat something that I wrote two weeks ago:
I don’t need to remind you how much anti-Bolshevists overuse accusations of genocide, but something that I think that most of us overlook is that they actually seem very disinterested in all of the psychological, cultural, environmental, and even the economic effects of extermination campaigns, yet far more interested in it as just another policy that they need to oppose; something on the list that needs to be crossed off and then forgotten.
I have discussed how Jews trapped in Axis ghetti suffered ‘accelerated ageing’, I’ve spoken of how the Fascists destroyed thousands of synagogues, how the Fascists stole countless paintings that Jews owned, how grandchildren of Shoah survivors suffer more mental distress, and more. I’ve betalked annihilation attempts of little interest to anti-Bolshevists, like the Medz Yeghern, the Samudaripen, the massacres of Namibians, the proto-Shoah, and I would like to bespeak the Sayfo in the near future.
Can a similar level of interest be attributed to that anti-Bolshevist? I doubt it.
Always hilarious to see accusations of tankies being online. Personally it's irl activists at uni and participating to blockades that convinced me ML was the right path. If I didn't experience that and just scrolled Reddit back then I would probably be a disconnected succdem now
Do Nothing
Accelerationist
Pick one
Tankism is just calvinism
I'm sure that person will have some very compelling arguments
"Genocide denying" "don't know communist history"

It's literally just Holodomor and Uyghurs. Those are the only genocides that ever happened.
No, every people’s republic committed genocide just by existing.
If you disagree, you’re a monster.
People like this have never even heard of the PKI or the Indonesian Massacres of communists and trade unionists
I am SO fucking tired of internet progressives blaming everything on 'Calvinism'
Calvin didn't do nothin to deserve all this blame he is just a child
Guys this is something started by chapo fans by way of Matt Christman. This is fully on this very community. This is fully spiderman pointing at spiderman.
I'll admit, I can't help pointing out when supposedly agnostic/atheist yankees are acting from a set of unexamined protestant christian assumptions about the world.
Noted Chapo listener, Max Weber
Max Weber's idea of the Protestant work ethic is not why people on tbe Internet use calvinism as a byword for bad actually.
I was making ✨a joke✨
To be fair Calvin basically is at fault for the turn to material goods by American protestantism
I just think all these theological arguments are stupid - whether it's Dawkins blaming everything on nebulous 'religion', or people blaming the middle east on shia/sunni tensions, or the supposed incompatibility of Judaism and Islam, or blaming America on 'Calvinism'. They are dumb explanations.
It reeks of "Christianity was awesome until Paul/Augustine/Constantine the Great/Leo IX/Martin Luther/John Calvin ruined Christianity forever."
"Genocide bad"
At least the Tankies actually do something about it, instead of whine online like you.
The X is Calvinism thing is funny, and it's funny that it's being turned on communists now. Hoisted by our own petard, except the petard was always a fucking dud.
A do-nothing... chronically online... "Marxist-Leninist"...
I'm in this picture and I don't like it.
At least my bookshelf of books I haven't read isn't full of liberal trash. Fucking wow i just googled what the 'free peoples village' is about
In an alternate 2020 timeline, Al Gore won the 2000 election and declared a War on Climate Change rather than a War on Terror. For twenty years, Democrats have controlled all three branches of government, enacting carbon-cutting schemes that never made it to a vote in our world. Green infrastructure projects have transformed U.S. cities into lush paradises (for the wealthy, white neighborhoods, at least), and the Bureau of Carbon Regulation levies carbon taxes on every financial transaction.
English teacher by day, Maddie Ryan spends her nights and weekends as the rhythm guitarist of Bunny Bloodlust, a queer punk band living in a warehouse-turned-venue called “The Lab” in Houston’s Eighth Ward. When Maddie learns that the Eighth Ward is to be sacrificed for a new electromagnetic hyperway out to the wealthy, white suburbs, she joins “Save the Eighth,” a Black-led organizing movement fighting for the neighborhood. At first, she’s only focused on keeping her band together and getting closer to Red, their reckless and enigmatic lead guitarist. But working with Save the Eighth forces Maddie to reckon with the harm she has already done to the neighborhood—both as a resident of the gentrifying Lab and as a white teacher in a predominantly Black school.
When police respond to Save the Eighth protests with violence, the Lab becomes the epicenter of “The Free People’s Village”—an occupation that promises to be the birthplace of an anti-capitalist revolution. As the movement spreads across the U.S., Maddie dreams of a queer, liberated future with Red. But the Village is beset on all sides—by infighting, police brutality, corporate-owned media, and rising ecofascism. Maddie’s found family is increasingly at risk from state violence, and she must decide if she’s willing to sacrifice everything in pursuit of justice.
comrades you aren't going to believe this, but the tiktok video is infact liberal horseshit https://www.tiktok/ com/@simkern/video/7642777812725779743
Fuck me that's enough internet for today
我不喜欢美国人
Interesting that the Dem wet dream alternate future still produces the conditions for Revolution ¯_(ツ)_/¯
