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

From what I can tell, this tankie stuff is bullshit. In the years I've been here, I've seen close to zero 'tankie' content from any of these supposedly tankie instances. There's like maybe one or two people on those instances who might fit the description if you search for them. Meanwhile, literally every day there are posts spitting on these supposed tankie instances. (And actually, it's again a very small number of people complaining - but they put their crap into cute memes to get traction).
I don't like the idea of shouting slurs at entire instances. In my view, if you hate those instances so much - just block them. Problem solved. No need to spew hate all over lemmy.
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

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.

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.

No, I mean it's the new / local meme word to shut off conversation. And apparently used pretty much the same way right-wingers use it.

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.

If Harris was gonna be swayed by public opinion, it would have happened after the massive protest vote in Michigan. It didn't. It could have happened after polling showed how incredibly unpopular her Gaza policy was with her party base. It didn't. And it didn't change when she actually needed votes, it's safe to say it never would have changed.
If Harris has been elected, a huge number of Democrats would be more than happy to sweep current events in Gaza under the rug, because now our person is in charge, and they can do no wrong.

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

There are some real weirdos here that have this as the major part of their personality.

Nah, that stuff is the Dictatorship Of The Proletariat, which is a supposed way to Communism, rather than Communism itself, and as the "dictatorship" in the name indicates, it's an authoritarian regime.
The valid criticism of Communism is not that it's authoritarian is that in over a century all countries who tried to get there took the authoritarian path and not a single one ever left that staged and reached Communism - in other words, maybe Communism is a unachieveable ideal.
