Is it just me or are there more tankies here than there used to be?

Is it just me or are there more tankies here than there used to be?

Meaningless word that should be used for what it meant, Khrushchevite revisionists.

Tankie = anti-revisionist ML (Stalinist, Maoist, Hoxhaist)

Not enough of them.

Stalinism refers to a style of government, not a political ideology. Plus it carries a negative connotation and it's widely used by anti-communists and anti-ML leftists. MLs are already anti-revisionist, tankie originally referred to the suppression of the 1950s revolutions and supporters of the post-Stalin era.

It's not just you. They came pouring in when Reddit scum started thinking they were welcome here. They don't know any theory, they're authoritarian as fuck and they're basically just here for the memes. They offer absolutely nothing to the board or the left movement in general, and yet somehow the moderation seems to be full of them, inviting their fucking faggot friends here to shit up the place.

t. smashie or sucdem

Reddit is mostly anarkiddies though.

I've seen the opposite, more people posting with the annil and black flag lately.
when was the last time we did a user poll anyway?

The only thing that needs to be smashed around here is your face.

Funny coming from a liberal who will never be on the winning side of a revolution.

Reddit anarchists are crypto-tankie scum. They're some of the most censorious people on the entire internet.

Please, I've seen what the average tankie looks like. Have you ever even seen a gun in person? You're just a bunch of technicolor-haired problem glasses wearing SJW cunts.

t. Smelly Dumb Stalinist Scum

Nah, is right, it's always been used to describe Khrushchevites, people who advocated "sending in the tanks" to deal with the Hungarian uprising.

I hate to break it to you comrade but anarchists are authoritarian as fuck.

...

Me and all my tankie friends are normal-looking and have guns. More importantly, it doesn't matter what any faction looks like anecdotally right now. Revolution is the product of material forces. The tankies are the only ones who have successful revolutions, because revolution necessitates tankie politics.

Smashies waving the red and black or punks displaying the circle-A doesn't make them Anarchists.

If ML revolutions is what success is, I'd rather fail.

Liberalism in a nutshell. If you like failure, stop pretending and go back to mommy Clinton and the Democrats. They'll help you fail a lot more.

Honestly I don't consider all ML's to be tankies, just the ones that shill for bourgeois dictators like Assad and Putin because of muh imperialism.

Thankfully those types are still the minority here.

...

I'll believe that when I see it.

You'll never build socialism without winning wars and jailing counter-revolutionaries. Those are not a targets but means.

fuck off tankie, we took your word from you

We don't live in the 1950s anymore. Words can change meaning overtime. For all intents and purposes, anyone today who says "tankie" means "Stalinist".

The only justification I could see for Tankies is if their Authoritarian State "Socialism" was meant to be temporary.

You're paranoid. Holla Forums is a Leftcom/Ancom board. There used to be a lot more of us until faggot mods decided to ban all Stalintrips.

Please, I've seen all leftist tendencies in action, MLs are clearly the most decent looking one. I hope I don't need to remind you how the average Anarkiddie looks like.

Lol

As a tankie, I believe we need a highly authoritarian state as a means to deal with counter-revolutionary acts though surveillance. Of course, I do believe in abolition of the state, however this needs to be done over time.

Nice persecution complex. Stalinstache was a faggot and if you trip you shouldn't be surprised when the posts you purposefully made highly visible get a lot of scrutiny. It sounds like you guys got banned for being faggots more than because you're MLs.

Not even a tankie

I've been noticing more leftcoms here if anything

And An-nil and Nazbol shitposting

yeah one torture chamber on reddit wasn't enough

Stalinstache was effort posting so his trip was justified
and he got banned in a thread about ambiguity in translation of Capital when several leftcoms and one ansyn were screeching at him and insulting him

great fucking scrutiny you have here mate

I was banned here because I argued that in a higher-stage communism chldren will be collectivized
and of course why argue when you have a banhammer

1) Stalinstache was banned for arguing with leftcoms

2) Stalinstache 2.0 was banned for critisizing some liberal view of climate change

3) Hoxhaposter (who was an amazing contribution to this board) got banned for a harmless shitpost which is ridiculous considering the amount of literal Nazis shitposting here

4) I was banned for two months for posting Dugin's FPT when somebody asked for it, reasoning behind that was "strassershit"

Stalinstache used to btfo people regularly, it is a shame he is gone

The problem is when you ban high-quality posters temporarily, they probably won't come back. There is no reason for them to bother themselves with this circjerk here when the moderators are disingenuous.

This
And my god do mods get triggered by bullshit, Nazis have to practically derail several threads before getting the ban hammer though

I love how mods say out of one side of their mouth past high quality posts isn't grounds for any lieniency but when the post they ban you on has nothing in it they site past posts but don't produce them

...

How is M-L anti-revisionist? It separated itself from Marxist body and thought

Yeah, the mods are faggots. I'm just glad they don't do more at this point since they seem hell bent on making the shittest decisions. I'm sure one of them is the faggot spamming pixelcanvas threads since they do absolutely nothing to stop them.

This, mods are faggots, I want stalinstaches back ;_;

No, I think it's just this ome guy being very autistic. Whenever a leftcom thread starts, he's the first one to start throwing insults. Sad.


I thank the mods for removing Holocaust-denail tier posters. It's time to set the past by side, and focus on what currently exists. No ML state will ever rise again, that's for sure.

Oops, wrong flag

A meme post with two meme flags. Impressive.

That image is shit, 1 and 2 should be flipped and 4 should be something else.


"Left reddit" is mostly trots.


If anarchists have to take every smashie or redditor, you fags have to take pic related and the fags like red guard austin.

I delete pixelcanvas threads when they get spammed but I can't catch them all. There are some faggots also that just complain about them instead of reporting them.

Then I'll complete it with this one by saying "Updoot le immortal sciences of Margism Lenninism, hai- oops I mean praise Stalin"

What a funny board we are, right?

He acted like he btfo people all the time but he got btfo just as often. A lot of the time he'd just outlast his opponent and then claim victory.

Reminded that Tankies wish to change nothing, but just keep everything the same, just with more red flags and armies + a sprinkle of futile central planning.

well I think the way a lot of ppl use it now is a bit more like "communists uncritically accepting the actions of people in power who claim to be communist/anti-western." some anarchists will throw around the term a bit more loosely, but anarchism is dumb so that's not surprising.

there seem to be less. I thought I'd like to see less back in the day, but now I kinda miss them. we need a healthy mix on this board and we dont have it no more

Stop fucking sectarianism, this is becoming a shitshow and interesting discusions are diassapearing in favour of this kind of threads

You're more of a joke than nazbols.

The question has to be what caused it. I mean, I'd spontaneously say it's the tankies, but I see the irony in the statement (but who knows, maybe there's a /marx/ raid going on).

It seems like it's a rather recent phenomenon, at least in this intensity.

It's always been this way. Anarchists, MLs, Leftcoms, and other tendencies have been shitting on each other since the dawn of Holla Forums. It comes from deep ideological differences that can't be reconciled like fascists and lolberts can reconcile their differences.

It's a fucking waste of our time and effort, of course discussion is important, but starting a thread like this one or one calling anarchists smashies is retarded,

I agree discussion is important and probably inevitable between leftists , but the problem is the way it si caused and argumented , I have not read anything realy interesting on a tread like this

We're talking about shit posting, not debates. That's to be expected on a chan, but most posters of a given tendency haven't bothered to read the texts of other tendencies and have a meme tier understanding of whatever they're shitting on.

I know that, I'm not surprised that there are difference or debates. I'm talking about a very specific kind of discourse that has surfaced lately, consisting mainly of bad memes, fallacies and hate-posting.

Maybe it's became there was a decrease in anti-idpol posting, kind of the thing that held us together.

Wew.

Fewer.

But I entered leftypol like a year ago when we were probably just a few hundred users because I saw through all the shitposting (not saying it is bad) some really ineteresting threads like soviet cibernetics or real good discussions about empirical communism,.
Now that this is becoming as shitshow do you now a place to have that kind of discusssions?? (Not Reditt the extreme idpol there is horrible)

...

...

Anonymous image boards encourage a thought process that abstracts individual posts as representative of entire populations. Even though you don't really know if the person you're talking to is even a tankie or leftcom, people take them at their word. It also encourages people to lash out at these perceived groups, or just any like dicks in general because it's all anonymous and it disappears eventually. Even I'm guilty of it. Someone says something to piss me off, debating would be too much effort, so it's just easier to abuse them.

I dunno. More /leftykind/ threads might help.

I've been here since 2014 m8, it ebbs and flows. As liberal as this may sound, be the change you want and start making decent threads or posts.

How many levels of buttflustered are you on?


Yeah I gotta need a source for that. Usually it goes like this: Somebody is too autistic to make a post without bashing the USSR with meme tier buzzwords on the side ("state capitalist"), some tankie objects to that, then assburger debate between tankies and leftcoms starts with the latter being supported by AnCom footsoldiers crying about "red fascism". I don't know man, calling somebody a lying, capitalist, murderous fascist is pretty fucking insulting. I have nothing against debates on wether or not the USSR was socialist but people, especially anarchists who are extremely thin-skinned and react overly emotional to stuff, apperently can't be arsed to fucking contain their autism.

How old are you?

We really could do with more effortposting

Speaking of people not containing their autism

No the authoritarian state should last forever, yes it should become democratic, but it must last forever.

Abolition of the state is possible, but the defeat of reactionary forces that seek to undermine it must come first. Due to the current global reach of capitalism, this could take a very long time, however it's still achievable.
