Why are the libs so hung up on criticizing socialists? If you don't like this forum then go back to reddit.

I’m a socialist but not a tankie. Criticizing tankies!= criticizing socialists

Being an anti-communist leftist still makes you an anti-communist

[-] LittleLordLimerick@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago

Being anti-tankie does not make you anti-communist.

[-] sooper_dooper_roofer@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

I used to think that Marx was overrated because I never needed to read him but holy shit it's clear that 95% of the populace cannot form coherent ideologies without being taught them

Norway isn't socialism.

What exactly was wrong with Kruschev's decision to send the tanks into Hungary to stop the fascist uprising?

Given the historical context of the literal genocides the US was facilitating in asia and south america at that time, even if you ignore the literal fascist collaborators hijacking the movement and pretend it was just a bunch of liberals fighting for "freedom", keeping them from falling within the west's claws would have been justified.

If your criticism was that the USSR was too heavy handed putting down the fascists, look at what's happened since.

B-b-but have you heard of Nestor Makhno! Yeah, it's pretty underground but he was this totally rad anarchist that shot a bunch of tankies (um, somebody call the BASED department!?!?) and was totally productive in doing other things like . . . Stopping some of the people who he armed and trained after they went and committed pogroms and . . . Uh, well, he had a newspaper in France where he totally stuck it to the tankies and also every other leftist around him until he died in near complete social isolation, but . . . Um . . . He helped kill that fascist leader that one time (by being very ineffective in trying to dissuade the Jewish anarchist who actually did kill that fascist).
