Bro, I think you have a tanky kink. For every tanky I actually see, I swear I see five or more posts from you complaining about them.

Just admit it: you want to be dominated by tankies so your asshole can be nationalized for the good of the people.

Edit: I am joking!

Uh.

You have fun projecting your fantasies onto others, I suppose.

Sorry for being uncomfortable with atrocity denialism. Guess that's weird to you.

Same Marx letter: “While the workingmen, the true political powers of the North, allowed slavery to defile their own republic, while before the Negro, mastered and sold without his concurrence, they boasted it the highest prerogative of the white-skinned laborer to sell himself and choose his own master, they were unable to attain the true freedom of labor, or to support their European brethren in their struggle for emancipation; but this barrier to progress has been swept off by the red sea of civil war.”

Unfortunately it wasn’t actually swept off, instead of “at least we aren’t slaves” it’s “at least we aren’t the periphery” that became the boasted prerogative making core country labor feel like it has more investment in the system and more to lose than it actually does, and keeping them demanding anti-immigration and anti-trade and bombs to maintain hegemony.

OP obviously does not know the definition of a tankie.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

Well, someone is wrong. But it’s not OP.

C'mon, say it a third time, and maybe this time it'll get some traction!

I can never tell when tankies are arguing in bad faith, or legitimately not understanding the point. Not that it really matters in the end, I suppose, lol

Some large number of them are larping facists trying to troll.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago (2 children)

No doubt. Unfortunately, some are certainly genuine.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 6 months ago

It’s the lead.
