or "tankie" is just a type of communist. who knows at this point.

Marx said communism is stateless

every type of leftism that im aware of except for social democrats want to achieve a stateless society. to be fair im not sure if social democrats can even be considered leftists.

Okay bro wtf is that wall of text. They’re all communist, full stop. Trying to label them something else doesn’t change the fact that communism is a political system for psychopaths

Man, I had some hope you'd look past your propaganda and programming, but I guess not.

I wish you the best in the future; try looking into what you're being fed. After you work through the humiliation of accepting the easy lies of conservatives, please remember you're not the only one to fall for it. It's very common, especially amongst men.

Good luck, you are loved ️

You can't, you have to move instances.

Nothing says genocide apologist like insisting every genocide has to be exactly like to Holocaust to count as a genocide.

Different leftists have a different idea of what constitutes the "State" and what "Statelessness" looks like. For Marxists, the State is the oppressive elements of class society like millitarized police and armies that can only go away once the world is fully publicly owned and planned, and becomes classless. Anarchists however have an issue with hierarchy, rather than class, and want full decentralization and horizontalism. For a Marxist, Anarchism isn't "stateless" as it retains class distinctions (each commune is interested in its own success), Anarchists obviously would see Marxism as not truly stateless.

This difference is why a lot of conversations go nowhere between some Marxists and Anarchists.

Comms are more like hashtags within an instance, generally, rather than a real community in itself.

Always the same brigading, always the same repeating the same lies. Just for your sanity avoid .ml hex and grad.

Yeah and that common definition is described in dictionaries and encyclopedias.

Stop with your moral grandstanding.

I like how people have reached a point where simply opposing mass murder is "moral grandstanding"

how fascism has won.

We've been doing lots of fascist things, especially overseas, for a looooong time now. You only care now because it effects people domestically.

literally tearing the government apart and doing damage that will take decades to fix, if it even can be fixed

So a corrupt, imperial, exploitative, oligarchical, giga-warcrime, no-global-accountability, genocidal-regime-bankrolling, country's government may have become more dysfunctional? Drops in the ocean in the bigger picture.

if me calling you out for stupidity for letting fascism win "pushes" you to the far right

So now I'm "far right" because I didn't want to support the DNCs policy of giving a blank check to Israel for war crimes?

then you never actually had any principals.

JFC the irony of that coming from someone telling me to "set aside" my qualms about the Democrats supporting genocide so the blue guys can win this one.

Authoritarian bootlickers is ironic, while at leats the Americans are watch their country go full authoritarian fascist right now.

OBJECTION!

Except when people on here use it all the time to refer to people who don't meet the definition.

Regardless, I'm happy that y'all are changing the definition through over use since it defangs it. You can insist all you want that "It's only used against the people mentioned in the formal definition" but everyone who's ever seen it in actual use knows you're wrong.

Again, you could also try to tell me that the f-slur only applies to gay people since that's what the dictionary defines it as, but every straight guy who's ever been called it knows you're full of shit.

It's like trying to say that "You're mother's a removed" only applies to people who's mothers are actually prostitutes, it's ridiculous and very obviously not how language works.

[email protected]

Because the removed word was tranny.

I certainly can but when someone tells me they do not like me as I am, it clearly tells me I don't like them. No one needs toxic relationships.

OBJECTION!

Maybe you should keep looking then. As in, someplace else.

You can say all the transphobic slurs you want on Twitter, probably Facebook too.

I'm not gonna be equipped to make a nuanced and detailed take right now but in my experience hexbears are alright, fun to talk to, I can learn things from them, and at worst they're spicy.

In my book, it isn't "tankie" until they are the kind who claim all the authoritarian regimes that were never democratic to be "communist".
You can't have communism without democracy, that's the whole deal, it's in the freaking name, community.

Claiming to be "communist" when your regime is authoritarian is like claiming to make soup without liquids.
You can replace water with other stuff like broth, or even beer and wine, to make soup. But you need a liquid to make soup. That's soup's whole deal. Without a liquid as the base, or if you take out all the liquid after doing it, whatever you are doing, whatever you call it, it ain't soup.
For example, portable soup may have "soup" in the name, but it isn't soup. It's dehydrated food. It may have been soup once, but it isn't soup.

Your views seem to coincide with Russian propaganda.

You're pro-Russian and think Russia was not wrong to break international law by invading a sovereign nation. I would bet.

[email protected]

And if you ask people if they're pro-Putin and pro-Russia and against Russian crimes against humanity, you'll get banned faster than you can say "Синдром вахтёра"

Goes for Lemmy.ml and some reason Midwest.social as well.
