or "I TOTALLY SUPPORT THE ANARCHISTS DOING TERROR ATTACKS ON THE MARXIST-LENINISTS SAVING US FROM FASCISM!"
What a lack of Marxism-Leninism and historical materialism does to a mf. Literal kindergarten level leftism. These are the same people who will argue that it's the Bolsheviks ackchually who made it possible for fascists to win the Spanish civil war by repressing anarchists (no sources provided)
WDYM? My tism brain is too tired to properly run the "interpretation engine"™
I think the joke is that they copied the text without realizing the text was against them (libs).
I don't think people here on Hexbear are going to make much of a distinction between your stance and the one in the sidebar pic in the OP.
Myself and many others uphold Deng Xiaoping and don't consider China revisionist, but as comrade LeninWeave said, this isn't a "Hexbear line." We have Marxist users here that are more critical of China, not to mention the anarchists here. Hexbear's rules against sectarianism and for support of AES just means people here support China more than not as a general minimum.
I'm aware (check my account age); my criticism was of the sectarianism, and I included a demonstration that such sectarianism explicitly excludes a lot of Hexbear comrades. While leftymemes clearly is less thoroughly sectarian than the comm at issue here, I still don't agree with its policy.
I can agree with that. I disagree with Lefty Memes on their exclusion of what they call "Dengism," but at the same time recognize that this is not nearly as bad as Memes of Production, which is overwhelmingly "tankie bashing" or stuff like the AnPrim content above.
Not everyone who critically supports China is a "Dengist" (no one really identifies themselves as a "Dengist", but I assume you know what I mean). I can think of users on here that critically support China but consider them revisionist and they participate here without problems.
It's about being unnecessarily exclusionary, no? Isn't that one of the criticisms being implied here? Leftymemes is being exclusionary in the same way, whether or not they filter out the truly ridiculous posts like those shown here.
letfymemes doesn't allow memes supporting expanding productive forces using capitalism/market economies (not limited to Deng). You're still allowed to critically support countries that did/do that. That's a minor restriction compared to not being allowed to even think that anything AES did is good. A lot of "tankie" users post on leftymemes without problems (including me) but are banned from the comm in OP without even participating.
Well I'm a "tankie" too, apparently so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But "tankie" doesn't mean shit anymore
At this point I consider "tankie" to mean "the person being accused probably at least has better opinions than the accuser".
"this person is to my left and that undermines my identity"
"Tankie" essentially means "supports existing socialism," but as a pejorative. Extending support for socialism to existing or formerly existing socialist projects that exist at a scale greater than a dozen people at a length of time greater than a few years is unnacceptable to those that complain about "tankies."
While I uphold Deng Xiaoping Theory as Marxism-Leninism applied to conditions contemporary to Deng, and don't consider China revisionist, I haven't yet been banned from Lefty Memes. Memes of Production, on the other hand, I have been banned from simply for "voting while tankie," without actually commenting or posting there, ever. Lefty Memes gives far more leeway.
OK? ❔❔❔
