I hope Russia invades your house. Not your country or neighbourhood, but just your house specifically.

You have no idea how to balance a budget.

“Hmm, candles cost me 1500$ a month. But on the other hand, I could save 200$ a month if I reduced my groceries. I need to save 1000$, clearly I’ll just stop buying groceries” that’s your solution lol

Genocide of native Americans is solved because they get to build casinos lmao I hope you lose all your money there and go bankrupt, gtfo

Ethnic minorities in Indonesia with US guidance 🙃 Koreans 🙃 Vietnam 🙃

Bro really thought no genocides happened in the 50s huh

All human creative output is biased, ProleWiki just doesn’t pretend it’s not biased by hiding behind scholars and quotes that agree with the editor.

It does give a definition: that there is none (lack of a definition is a definition). This is pretty clear if you read the whole page. Authoritarianism is just trying to distance itself from authority because all states wield authority in various ways, and so a word was created to separate the two and criticize the socialist bloc that also wielded authority, like the west did, but their authority was bad you see, not like ours which is good.

But why am I saying this; you didn’t read the page, you’re not gonna read this either.

In fact nobody has ever really been able to articulate to me why authoritarianism is bad beyond “I want my freedom”. It just inherently is undesirable, don’t ask too many questions, just accept it.

More than 1/6th of the world still is, and it’s working spectacularly for them

Communism is indissociable from its three components, which includes a political system: dialectical materialism (the philosophical part), the labour theory of value (the economic part), and the class struggle (the social thus political part).

Anything other than Marxism is ineffectual in the real world and leads to nothing as exemplified by 200 years of history. “Tankies” don’t “happen” to have an economic theory, it’s an integral part to the whole of Marxism and Marxism could not exist without the economic basis for it. Why do we dislike capitalism? Because through math we can prove it is rife with contradictions and invariably leads to imperialism. Otherwise why would we want communism? Just because it’s cool to be a communist? Just because it’s a hobby? There has to be an actual justification for what we want.

The best part of comments like yours is trying to figure out your ideology. Could be anything, really.

You’re deflecting. The Soviets were not fascists and you know this.

Capitalism was extreme as well when compared to the feudal order. But eventually they fought, they won, and now we get to wake up every day at 6 and drive 45 minutes to work.

Anarchists follow their team too; they’re opposed to any state whatsoever, no matter what the character of that state is and no matter the achievements of that state. Their team is the abolition of the state and anything that works towards that goal, no matter who it comes from, is considered by anarchists to be anarchist(ic). By this definition they would be tankies too.

Again, there’s no point in telling me this lol. Go cry to your admin to defederate from the big bad tankies that give you nightmares.

Ah yes the people that killed fascists and put a stop to extermination camps were actually the fascists.

I am very smart 🤓

Can you define tankie?

When have “libertarians” ever won a physical fight anywhere lol. We have actual revolutionaries who fought on the frontlines like Che and Castro, Lenin, Ho Chi Minh, Mao.

you have this goofy cartoon

There are plenty of economic and political systems that can reach all the development and improvement to quality of life and literacy you want, yet they do it through horrible, brutal and harmful means

I also want my entrance into this convo to be respectful but I don’t know how else to ask this question; can you give examples of such systems?

Bullshit. Everyone’s a tankie. My dog is a tankie. Tankie doesn’t mean shit, in the four years it’s been revived, nobody has ever been able to give me a universal definition. It literally just means “people I don’t like”.

I’ve seen anarchists get called tankies. I myself am a Marxist-Leninist but because I may be better at conveying my thoughts and opinions I don’t get called a tankie, while other MLs do. I literally have the same opinions they do, but anarchists sometimes think I’m cool with them lol.

Tankie doesn’t mean anything. You’re a tankie.
