Your community for poking fun at the bullshit tankies say and spread.

Rules:

No tankie talking points. That includes the classics (denial of genocide of Uyghurs, denial of ML dictator's crimes, campism, calling everyone you disagree with a liberal or CIA etc.) and general shit opinions (general genocide denial, antisemitism, racism, queerphobia, etc.)
MLs are not communists. They never actually worked towards it and there are some who don't even define it as a stateless, classless, egalitarian society. So MLs shouldn't be called communists in the first place. Calling hating MLs anticommunism will probably expose you as either a tankie or a right winger, both of which aren't welcome here.
Right-wingers, fash, nazis, nazbols etc. are not welcome! Right wing talking points (such as anti-woke, anti-queer, speaking favorably of far right figures, being anti-antifa etc.) will get you banned pretty quickly.
Please respect people's pronouns. Deliberately misgendering people repeatedly is going to lead you to have issues with the mods. Defending misgendering will get you banned.
No brigading. People caught brigading in this comm will be banned. Also we oppose brigading in other comms. Keep the discussions and stuff within the comm.
On near-east topics: Nakba is an established fact. The (ongoing) Palestinian genocide is a fact. Israel commits crimes against Palestinians. No anti-Arab (such as Palestinians and Druze) sentiments allowed (it falls under racism anyways). In regards to Israel, do not dehumanize civilians. Saying shit like "there are no civilians in Israel/Palestine" will get you permabanned.
Be kind to one another. Try to deescalate any fights.

Content guidance:

Anti-ML memes, screenshots and humor are allowed.

For general discussion threads please ask.

If there is demand, we can do a open discussion thread once a month. But it will get locked if in escalates into a dumpster fire.

Remember, MLs don't like competition. Historically speaking, they even massacred their own after getting rid of socialists and actual communists. (feddit.org)

Most people dont think like tankies or fascists. LibSocs will only suppress groups who actively seek to harm others or reintroduce capitalism.

Same goes for DemSocs and any other pluralists and left libertarians.

If you think others will sink that low just because you would, you are mistaken.

Oh no no, I don't think they would sink that low just because I would. I don't think that at all. I agree with you. LibSocs wouldn't do that until it was too late, and then they would lose to the people that would. Which is why they're useless, because they can't defend the people they're trying to liberate. They have an inaccurate analysis of the world, and therefore they will fail to liberate people.

LibSocs will only suppress groups who actively seek to harm others or reintroduce capitalism.

These people are not only everywhere and in large numbers and with great forces at their command, and not only are they actively committing violence right now and killing people to maintain capitalism, but they are also operating covert and subversive programs right now that infiltrate liberatory movements and disrupt them. This is why the only successful revolutions by communist parties for the last century have been ML revolutions - because their analysis of the opponent is accurate and that analysis leads to the conclusion that maintaining a revolution requires the ability to sustain warfare at a massive scale while simultaneously disrupting covert subversive programs that are literally already present before the revolution even kicks off.

This is why MLs will suppress any group that builds dual-power in the military and political spheres, because they know that such power will be used against the revolution that the MLs secured and, since no other political group has managed a successful revolution, that would mean weakening the revolution, by definition.

You are aware this group isn't intended for MLs to defend their power fantasies, right?

Like any of you could have read the rules and taken a hint that I will put a stop to ya once the apologia becomes too obvious.
