I mean I kind of am since I am helping build a new party centered on decolonial Marxism but I don't think that is what they are talking about

Seems Twitter is against decolonial Marxism
lol yeah we have a new one. Sungmanitu gets too spicy sometimes, we've migrated control of our official twitter to a more collectivist approach. https://twitter.com/ChunkaLutaOrg
Welcome!
The synthesis:
Imo when you combine the two simcerely you end up with CLR James or Franz Fanon: nationalists with a cautious and ambivalent relationship to nationalism.
are you the person running that account? if so god speed to your mental health comrade those patsocs are vile
No but Sungmanitu is a personal friend of mine
well let them know they've got comrades on hexbear/lemmygrad rooting for them (if they even know what those are lol)
lol yeah they do, my main role in the org is internet liaison/terminally online genX guy.
I'd like to subscribe hexbear to your newsletter. we need more posts about these on the ground efforts.
It's coming we're gonna put out a zine

I still flip flop between ML and anarchism to be honest. I'm ML because of climate change time constraints but anarchist in heart.
Really what I care about is improving things. And I will use whatever toolbox seems to be the best option under the conditions in order to achieve that.
A friend of mine always says "I'm an ML now so I can be an anarchist one day in the future"
that's a good one
the centrist leftist take
Am I an ML? An anarchist? Who cares, I just wanna grill (the rich)
You joke but I genuinely feel like this most days. If anything is getting done we're gonna need to team up anyways.
Yeah I would love for it to be possible for us to simply build our new world and show people a better way, but we are running out of time and more authoritarian measures are going to be necessary.
"more authoritarian measures are going to be necessary."
Welp, that's the gotcha for calling you 'tankie' according to these people.
Use state measures, and they would treat you as oriental orc with no sense... get crushed by authoritarians and they will publicly worship you while secretly celebrating a progressive defeat towards reaction...
Edit: I'm pro-Nakoichi, just to clarify...
it all depends on whether by "authoritarian" the liberals mean "classes, hierarchies, oppression, bigotry and exploitation" or if they simply mean "using violence to bring an end to classes, hierarchies, oppression, bigotry and exploitation." I find that they tend to mean the latter. Hence, I leave it to Engels:
and also, oddly enough, Mark Twain:

no more half measures walter
I have been converted to third worldism by all the contradictions. Something global historical materialism something super exploitation.
I think third worldism is about to be ripped apart by climate change. We're going to see a very very rapid destabilisation occur from climate refugee movements numbering in the tens of millions. It took just thousands of Syrian refugees to provoke huge EU destabilisation that led to Brexit, Greece, Italy, far right movements, etc etc... What's going to happen when the numbers are in the millions is going to blow it out of the water.
This rapid destabilisation is going to create a lot of revolutionary events.
Won't that just accelerate fascism though? Though I guess you could apply the same argument to the third world as well, in terms of anti colonial nationalism that doesn't go anywhere.
Yes. But everything that creates revolutionary conditions also accelerates fascism. It will win in some places, but I'm also quite sure that it will lose in others. We can not change the fact that these conditions are coming so we can only figure out what we're going to do within them.
My belief is that we should be preparing for this situation so that we can act when it comes.
I agree with you there 100%. We need to prepare now
Marxism-Leninism is a really good politics for being right about everything. Being right about everything is no fun when you're losing.
i gotta say i literally do not give a fuck if an ML state or anarchism happens first or whatever. I JUST WANT THIS HELL TO BE OVER

"tankie" has become such a pavlovian response to these people that the second they hear it they've decided they no longer need to consider anything this person might have to say. Like conservatives the second they hear something is "woke" and they throw a tantrum
It's kind of brilliant in a way. The brainworms prevent them from ever learning, because all it takes is a single concern troll saying "I think these people might be tankies" and they automatically shut down.
That user's instance defederated with us.
Not because of your exchange but because they thought these posts were serious
I'm sorry what's wrong with those screenshots? I see not a single problem in any one of those screens????????? Jokes about Blahaj, the IMF and some other stuff, staying inside Hexbear, is not a reason to defederate at all. Weird.
People having a good time joking among themselves on Hexbear is not disruptive behaviour. It's not trolling, it's not disruptive, it's not harassment or abuse. Are there tankies here? Damn right there are. There are also anarchists, democratic socialists and there's probably a socdem hiding somewhere that hasn't yet been bullied too much for being a lib. This is just anticommunism. "Tankie instance" is just "they allow communists". It's incredible colony-brained shit, these people need to decolonise their minds.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
