Shouldn’t there be some sort of baseline of sanity for community moderators? This dude is straight up pushing non-stop propaganda of his flavoring and deletes anything that he doesn’t like of https://lemmy.world/c/latestagecapitalism the mod log is very transparent and if that’s not power tripping I don’t know what is.
They didn’t write communism, they wrote tankies. And while I won’t equate tankies to nazis, they do share a lot of ideology, such as their love of strongmen.
The distinction between Communists and “tankies” doesn’t really matter at this point because the label of “tankie” is applied to every Communist these days, even Anarchists and progressive liberals. It’s generally a term without meaning. Either way, though, Communists don’t “love strongmen,” that’s more of a post-hoc explanation liberals come up with to denounce Communist movements, ie “Che Geuvara is a strongman, that’s why Communists support Cuba” etc. etc.
You should read the book too.
I mostly see the word tankie used by left-leaning individuals. Many of them communist. Right-wingers just call any non-fascist a commie.
I see the word “tankie” more often than not used by Anarchists against Marxists, and by liberals towards anyone to their left.
I’m a marxist.
As am I. I am explaining my own experiences.
