It is easy with this word, isn’t? No analysis is needed anymore. If it is not the western narrative and it is slightly left leaning, than it is tankie.
Look at the history of Marxism. The splits in the first, second and third international. They are meaningless now, because we are all Tankies. We can stop disputing about Marx and Engels. Neither Stalin or Trotsky is important, who cares about Mao and Brezhnev? In over 150 years there were more ten time more accusations of revisionism to each other then Hoxha did build bunkers. And what’s the result? We all are Tankies now. We should build the Tankie Party and we need a new International: Tankie International.
If we have infights, we call few liberals and they will remind us, that we all are just Tankies.
You disagree with me about a political move the Soviet Union did? Comrade, calm down, we are just Tankies! Let’s play a card game and drink tea instead.
Tankie is my new identity.
- My name? Tankie
- My nationality? Tankie
- Ethnicity? Tankie
- Gender? Tankie
- Skin Colour? Tankie
- And languages I speak? Only Tankie.
Let me speak Tankie for you:
Tankie tankiorum leninin trotmao China. Bourgeoliberala krautsky Staliner
Jesus Christ, I hate this word
tbf I have issued a fair number of bans and removals with the reason “liberalism”
at least liberalism is reasonably well-defined
It is but mostly for us. People operate on the basis of their ground truths. This moderator probably thinks that the shelling of Dobass is a hoax because of shit like this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_have_you_been_for_eight_years%3F
Meanhile they will chastise you for denying the supposed Uyghur genocide. A genocide with no comfirmed kills.
Not trying to apoligise for this dipshit. Just wanted to say that modlog messages will often not be verbose due to laziness or convenience.
sure, although I’m not sure they can give a non-vague definition of “tankie”
maybe “person who disagrees with US foreign policy” if they have enough self awareness
Yeah. Tankie is someone who is to the left of New York Times on US foreign policy.
Are there any good resources to show non-tankies about this, by the way?
Depends. A good chunk of non-tankies want to nuke Russia. They think that any degree of Russian involvement in east Ukraine is “meddling” whereas American intervention and regime change is white man’s burden. For normal people there was this good article that was recently published: https://www.kitklarenberg.com/p/civil-war-in-donbass-10-years-on
I mean, this but somewhat unironically (the idea of a big tent socialist party consisting of tendencies too spicy for an average succdem/demsucc/anarkid)
I would unironically be proud to join the Tankie International.
Please share this on the appropriate Hexbear comm
Which one would that be?
Not entirely sure but something like !chapotraphouse@hexbear.net or !shitposting@lemmygrad.ml seems appropriate to me
If I saw a tankie, if I, if I saw one I’d t-tell my mom immediately and she’d s-stop them
“anticolonialist”
supports genocidal US neocolonialism
You got it wrong, this is the person who got their comment removed for pointing out what Ukraine was doing in Donbas.
Ahh, ok, I read that as “comment removed by anticapitalist”. Thanks for the correction.
In one time or another, one of these banned .world users who are called “tankie propagandist” should say
“Mr. Dessalines, my people yearn for freedom”
I am surprised that they had explicitly mentioned the actual reason for the ban. The claim that the ban is from their belief that Ukraine had never massacred the citizens in Donbass for 8 years raises suspicion of censorship of whistleblower.
