Fuck ☭TANKIE☭s. This is some shit from a leftbook memedump in my town, a bunch of activists from various different groups are in it. People started posting sectarian memes and its been a thing. It's mostly SAlt Trots VS 3rd worldist ML types like the guy in the image. I'm pretty much the only non ML/Trot/DSA person on the page, we have a local IWW branch that I'm in but none of them are in this dump.
Anyways fuck this guy. Thoughts on left unity?

Why american ☭TANKIE☭s outside of here are so high on idpol?
Haha, that's right, anarchists are just dumb sectarian babies who can't handle the bantz xD
Come on dude. ☭TANKIE☭s, ultras and leftcoms have been mostly chill with each other the last weeks since there is /leftpol/. No need to start this shitflinging again which is going to come down to "commoditiy production" after 100 replies.
Why should ☭TANKIE☭s and anarchists NOT be opposed? Just because they both say they want a Communism doesn't mean they are allies. At most ☭TANKIE☭s and anarchists could have a short alliance, but no longterm cohesion is possible. Holy shit utopians can set on fire.
Of course, I read further and some guy makes the exact point I just attacked.
What?! My bad, everyone allow us to officially commence the monarchist-socialist-fascist-mercantilist united front to oppose Capitalism. I hate how stupid people are sometimes.
Cool, but an excuse for a utopian world view.
FTFY
Useful idiot.
The Russians go out of their way to help Assad. Their imperialist interests are not in Syria, they only want to retain their fossil fuel sales to Europe. Assad accepts help from Russia because they don't imperialists interests in Syria directly, whereas the US does. I know nuance is lost on your guys but that's an important difference one should make.
