Karl Marx said communism is stateless. Tankies are named after their support of soviet tanks to put down revolutions. That's the opposite of stateless.
Lol, well I guess there are no communists then, not even Marx himself, as no-one has achieved statelessness.
Also, what a stupid image, it's literally just horseshoe theory with "I'm on of the good leftists" liberal boot licking thrown in

Well except for the Catalonians, the Haudenosaunee, the Australians, the Polynesians...

Catalan made their own "state" that's not stateless. Humans need societies and structures, we aren't tigers, we're weak hairless monkeys.

What? Those are the three instant where I see the least denial of the US and Israels genocide, and the least bootlicking of western authoritarianism.
The opposite of western bootlicking is not Russian bootlicking.

When hexbear federatedn with SJW, I spent a day arguing Russia invading is bad actually, North Korea isn't a democratic utopia, and China isn't a shining pillar of socialism. Then I blocked them all because that was exhausting. So idk if hexbear is still so tankie, but they definitely were at that point.

Communist is not the same as tankie. Lemmy probably wouldn't exist if the devs weren't communist
They sensor criticism of the CCP

That is indeed the .world attitude.
idk if i was too subtle but i was being sarcastic, its possible to live without relience on authoritarian fascist regimes.
i guess a leninist who dismantles and reforms Hegels words for statist purposes wouldnt understand that.
-
Yes, welcome redditors to .world, which is trying to model itself as reddit 2.

Yeah I'm a bit lost on why someone's instance automatically = their entire identity. Wouldn't that means 1) technically we are all tankies on a tankie platform and 2) I need to start learning Finnish?
Yeah, hexbear and .grad seem to be mostly tankie users, but it seems much more split on .ml. The admins are questionable, and I've seen tankies there disproportionally, but since it was the default instance for a long time, there are also a bunch of non-tankie users. I think lumping .ml in with hexbear and .grad really downplays just how bad those two are.

Looks like I chose a good instance! ^w^
-
Yep. The few I see are easily ignored. Or poked if you want to set them off.
-
everone knows you join instances based on how funny the @ is, duh
Am I winning?

Yeah, unless they're Western or western allied of course, at least according to .world

uh-huh.
instead of being sarcastic again, perhaps i could give you some recommendations in theory? seems you need it to understand that a human craves and needs freedoms from its state.
No, I'm good. Maybe you should share your theory with the statists on .world.

The irony of this is that not being a western bootlicker does automatically make you a Russian bootlicker, according to the people complaining about the "tankie triad".

Ok, I think I'm comfortable resting my case that you contorting the meaning of the word 'communist' beyond reason.
