  • I'm on lemmy.ml because it's the developer server so I figured it would get updates the fastest, it also federates with all the communist/anarchist servers.

  • Look up some Ernst Thalmann quotes.

    feel free to provide them.

    I don’t mind communists, just tankies.

    Well I don't like social democrats at all because they're always contriving new lies and smears to divert attention from their awful pro-capitalist politics.

  • "literally" lmao - spoiler they didn't

    The SPD endorsed the 'lesser evil' conservative candidate who went on to hand over power to Hitler.

    They also killed a ton of communists, all of the above is probably why you have a soft spot for them

  • the social Democrats enabled fascism the whole way; they literally had right wing paramilitaries kill their left wing opposition.

    you clearly would rather be goose stepping

  • How do you stave off depression?

    Jump

  • Transitioning helped a lot, I do still feel depressed occasionally, but it's more passing and related to hormones.

    Switching from a career where I was on call nearly all the time for immediate issues for one where I have more flexibility and don't have to drive as much was a big help.

    I still mask and feel really alienated being around people who don't, but that sentiment was not new to me being vegan and trans and an anarchist. Those orientations don't always lend themselves to being understood by others who aren't.

    I don't spend much time online. Organizing with like-minded individuals in real life is way better for my mental health.

    I do smoke a lot of weed, but it's because I enjoy it rather than because I feel bad or am trying to self-medicate.

  • I post things in English because the audience here speaks that.

    The thing with your source is that 98% of state communist in the region are Russian sympathizers and as such legitimate targets in war conditions. They will be oppressed for siding with enemy

    your response did illustrate my point well though

  • it doesn't prove anything, I was making a joke that in the US a guy running for Senate had straight up Nazi tattoo on him, the problem isn't limited to Eastern Europe.

    in fact it seems like the nazism problem in Ukraine is more of a civil society problem, as in rather than getting state crackdowns on speech, if you say the wrong thing you might get a group of patriots showing up at your door to teach you a lesson.

    here's a video from a ukrainian communist in kharkiv explaining the issue, translated by a ukrainian from mariupol

  • 'tankie' is used a pejorative for any leftist, just like 'red' or 'commie' or 'pinko' was. You apply it to them because they say one thing, and automatically ascribe to them all of the other things that you dislike. It's a caricature.

    I linked two different threads of people unanimously shitting on purported communists who are reactionary or offer full support to the war in ukraine and you read it as them being 'aligned on the war in ukraine'. I don't really know what else to say if you're just going to read the opposite.

    I find it’s more often the people complaining loudly about ‘tankies’ who are starting off with slogans and an uncritical reading of their own sides history.

    Once again, most leftist anti-tankies already criticize the US.

    The 'vaguely left' poster that's one of the main 'anti-tankies' is constantly posting NAFO shit and anticommunism. I don't think that we are in agreement on what 'leftist' is, beyond a self-identification.

  • This is what makes up the bulk of controversy on tankies on the fediverse and outside it.

    The biggest shit-stirrers on this front don't tend to express issues with authoritarianism under capitalism. In fact they tend to be the first to browbeat people to fall in line with western narratives and express contempt at challenging the existing systems. I have no obligation to take them seriously.

    The problem is that you're using tankie now interchangeably with what was originally 'leninist' and the goalposts shifted for what they believe.

    I can point to a recent thread where these 'tankies' are complaining about the fascists larping as communists on reddit 'tankies' are not a monolith and the site cultures are clearly different. Here's a thread where 'the tankies' on hexbear are saying that the CPRF should all be shot for supporting the SMO, and that if Putin is praising you then you're not a communist party.

    Most marxists/leninists I've known in real life are pretty quick to concede the failures of previous socialist states, because having a critical understanding of history is integral to having a materialist worldview.

    If people are just shouting slogans it's a problem, obviously. However that door swings both ways: I find it's more often the people complaining loudly about 'tankies' who are starting off with slogans and an uncritical reading of their own sides history.

  • Anarchism is anti-authoritarian, but that's not really where it ends (to say it's 'all about that' is a bit reductive). The point isn't just to oppose authority, but to oppose hierarchy and domination. IE systems where authority becomes permanent, coercive, and self-justifying.

    Anarchists aren't going to oppose a doctor giving orders in the middle of surgery, or say that teachers have to get a vote from their class before being allowed to assign homework.

    The problem is the structural authority where participation isn't voluntary and the power can't be revoked. This is why opposing the state, class society and capitalism is such a common refrain.

    That's why I said there's common ground between marxists and anarchists. Both traditions start from the same diagnosis: the capitalist state is a machine of class domination. We both want to abolish exploitation and create a classless, stateless society. We can disagree about if some heirarchies can still be used temporarily for the purpose of liberation, however that's a strategic debate with a shared revolutionary objective, not some huge moral divide.

    At the end of the day, anarchists and marxists want the same thing: a society without without rulers, landlords, or bosses.

    The disagreement is about how to get there, not about if people should be free at all.

  • 'defending' 🙄

    it's that I find there's more common ground with them than with the centrist extremists who get so worked up about their existence.

    Just yesterday I had one such person who started off calling me a tankie immediately pivot to 'yeah well anarchism is bullshit too'
