.world has now moved onto banning people for calling out transphobia. It was bad when they banned users for calling out the Democrats' involvement with the genocide of Palestinians, but now they ban users for being "aggressive" with transphobes.

I haven't been able to take the word "tankie" seriously in most cases since I asked that to someone on Reddit and they linked a meme praising anarchist Catalonia

[โ€“] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago

Yeah, it's kind of lost all meaning. I've seen Marxists call Liberals tankies, and I've seen Liberals calls Marxists tankies. I've seen right wingers call Leftists tankies, and I've seen Leftists call Centerists tankies. I know where the word came from, and who the first tankies were but I rarely know what a person's intent is with that word anymore. Maybe it's just young people slang now and I'm just too old to get it.

Because I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what's it seems weird and scary. And it'll happen to you!

THIS is why people have a problem with "tankies."

Whatever you do, don't look up the numbers of Soviet officials lynched before the tanks were sent in, or who the counter-revolutionaries set free from prison to help with the lynching and rioting (spoiler: literal Nazis).

Marxist Leninists are defined primarily by two principles:

  • Anti Imperialism / Internationalism
  • Defense and Construction of Socialism

It means that the Soviet Union was chiefly responsible for ending the Holocaust and supporting liberation struggles around the world. It means Cuba was able to transform itself from a strip-farmed slave and prostitution hell into a Democratic republic governed meaningfully by the Cuban people with dignity and education for all. All across east Asia it's secured home rule and governments who meaningfully care and are comprised by regular working and peasant peoples. Marxism Leninism is the historical force which has been shown to be most able to grapple with the complex realities of our world dominated by white supremacy and capitalism, and fought back.

It's the reason that the supposed atrocities commuted by socialist countries are minor compared to the grand historic crimes of empires like France, Britain, the US, Germany, Japan, etc. Mistakes are made and have been made by socialist countries, sure, of course; but they were the first nations to attempt to meaningfully house people for the sake of housing. They were the first projects to successfully overthrow colonialism, and to raise literacy rates to an absurd degree even higher than in the United States today. These socialist projects need to defend themselves because very few other historical forces have shown anywhere near the potential to make a better world.

So call it whatever you like, it'll never erase the monumental good it's done for the world.

THIS is why people have a problem with Anti-Communists

They have a problem with stopping a fascist counter-revolution that did anti-jewish pogroms and elevated the landlord class in Hungary?
