The idea of a tankie is the ideal vision of a McCarthyian Communist

So you're saying that tankies aren't communists?

Moreover, calling Communists “fascists” makes about as much sense as libertarians complaining about the US government being “Communist.”

I thought you just said that Tankies aren't communists? Because the alternative is that communism is when you genocide uyghurs to create Lebensraum for the han chinese. Which is just fascism.

It’s entirely divorced from reality and rests upon dramatic errors in understanding what fascism is

I spent years learning about fascism just to be lectured by a fascist charading as a communist on the internet lol

as Is the Red Flag Flying? The Political Economy of the Soviet Union to

I just quickly put it through Perplexity and: "For example, he interprets the 1956 Hungarian intervention as a pre-emptive strike against Western powers gaining influence in the Eastern Bloc"

It is Tankie shit. Imperialism bad, unless the Flag is red, then massacring workers and women is actually good. And from doing the same with the blakshirts book it seems the author has no Idea of how fascism came to rise or willingly lies about it to push his narrative.

Calling tankies communists is a disservice to the entire ideology of communism. If you want to simp for an authoritarian strongman just be honest with yourself and call yourself a fascist.

it's what I use, but it has such a unpleasant UI

I feel like Signal is the only FOSS App that has a good and modern UI

I really hope this is just to appease Trump and get on his good side and he doesn't actually go and attack trans rights

Not an expert, but isn't the argentinian president an ultra-liberal? (liberal as the world-definition, not the US-definition)

Could this just be to appease Trump?

just checked if I can see piracy on lemmy.world and yes you're correct. Though it seems only the db0 instance was banned in particular weirdly.

I still stand by point 1 though. Hexbear as an instance has been profile-blocked by me.

I am on your side, but:

You do realize that can totally go the other way, right?

The AFD implements a "ministry of crime-prevention" that surveils the public and squashes political discent. Names don't necessarily reflect what's actually happening. You should argue with actual policies they did.
