We did get to the debate part, you can click the link and see how it went down. Goat was asked to provide a defense for points they made stating that Palestine ought to resist only by adopting Western liberal ideals, and that resistance by military means is illegitimate. They refused to actually elaborate on that point.

When prompted on forming revolutionary organizations in the United States, goat claimed that such an effort is useless because Americans will never amount to anything because they are too distracted.

Well, you're posting about a thread that went down on Hexbear where goat was engaging with us. I'm curious to know what facts and logic were actually provided that the "tankies" rejected.

Goat's just lying here though, they got banned because of what happened in this thread:

That's not why you were banned. You were banned for Zionism because you were providing a non-defense for your stance that the correct thing for Palestinians to do is not resist genocide.

That's the thread where goat got banned.

Which facts and logic were provided?

Note that to actually land on the "auth left" quadrant in the political compass test you basically have to say you have extremely bigoted views. You have to say you want the government to enforce strict immigration laws, have no rights for women, etc etc but all of that combined with left wing economic views.

That's because the political compass test confuses where one stands with regards to the validity of the authority of the state (as in, anarchists believe the state ought not to exist at all, while Marxists generally believe it ought to exist but only while the revolution is taking place and socialism is being built to eventually replace capitalism with communism) with social views in general. It's perfectly possible to be an anarchist with regressive social views or a Marxist with progressive ones, but the political compass test doesn't really differentiate that at all and it would put the former in the auth left quadrant, and the latter in lib left.

I think this video by revolutionaryth0t did a good job of explaining why almost everyone on the left lands on the "lib-left" quadrant regardless of their actual theoretical stances.

Is it better to spend a similar amount of time criticizing "tankies" when "tankies" have never held political office in the US federal government, yet liberals, as in the Democratic Party, are the opposition party in the US and are the most common ideology in the Western world?

If the same amount of time was spent criticizing fascists on the slop community, most of the content would have to be censored because fascists are just too violent and say too many things that aren't even funny to laugh at, they're genuinely disturbing.

You said both Renee Nicole Good and Tank Man were murdered.

When did they say that?
