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.
Problem is that most if not all (online) tankies have only a very limited, sketchy idea of what those actually are.
Another problem is that you list ideologies, i.e. somewhat theoretical stuff, but how does that relate to the actual atrocities? I don't think Stalinism says "go and kill millions of dissidents".
Isn't that the main problem with tankies, that they defend indefensible tyrannies because to them they are identical to the ideologies?
Even tankies have varying degrees of evil. From spying on opposition to straight up genocide.
It's not as if they are as homogenous as Juche followers.
Posadism 10/10 for style
Posadism attempts to introduce elements of ufology into Marxist thought. Arguing that only communism can allow the development of interplanetary travel, they concluded that visiting aliens from other planets must live in highly advanced communist societies and are bound to help Earth-based communists with bringing about the world revolution.
I would probably put it at a 9 in terms of evil since Posadas said there must be a global nuclear war for communism to happen. 10 is reserved for ideologies who support perpetual suffering such as Khmer Rogue.
