When you say something barely leftist on lemmy.world
I don’t even know what a “tankie” is anymore, i just ignore it like “woke” and “groomer” and just assumed you’re too lazy to think for yourself
Yep. Its just the new word for "communist", or really, "anyone I don't like".
"tankie" is just "woke" for libs who think they're the "true left"
in case u want to know.
tl;dw so many things that end up meaning nothing. https://youtu.be/LcJ5NrJtQ8g

"Go back to your echo chamber!" -The liberal in the echo chamber yelling at people going out of their way to talk to people with differing opinions.
Liberals: We need a society where we hear all views!
Also liberals when they have to see a communist or an anti-imperialist who cares about humanity: 🙈
Lmao immediate COINTELPRO take by moldypotato as expected:
How tf is a vanguard party "another form of bourgeoisie rule"? Do they think "bourgeoisie" just means "empowered minority"? Geez, is that why these types think capitalism is millennia old?
Umm, acktually tankie, don't you know that authoritarianism bad? So a vanguard party is exactly the same as billionaires ruling everything? Of course, it's actually much worse as well, so we should oppose it much more than we do capitalism, both sides bad, but evil authoritarian tankies worse!
It's difficult enough for leftists to read theory. The chance any lib has a basic understanding of what leftist terms actually mean approaches zero.
They don't know what bourgeoisie means, they just think "have power = burgie", "not working in factory = burgie", and don't even think to discuss class position of inteligentsia with them.
Strait fax
Oh no, the libs who commented here went "bye bye, folks."
Well this was my response to one of the dummies arguing against "authoritarianism." You can't even begin to talk with these people because they don't understand what authoritarian even means or the control mechanisms under which they already live. One of those control mechanisms is the illusion of freedom, which is rather ironic considering "but freedom!" seems to be this one "anti-tankie's" entire ideology. Anyway this was my response.
"You took on anarchist esthetics, but all of your political opinions are just liberalism.
Liberals, famously not authoritarian.
You're a tankie by your own definition. Whomp whomp"
The leftbookers got in
To be fair, real socialists and communists hate tankies too.
Edit: The best part of this is all the tankies self reporting, if they thought themselves real socialists or communists they'd be up voting me.
Beyond parody
Of course he's from lemmy.world lmao
If you're from the west, you should be concerned by fascists, not tankies. There's no tankie in the west.
Same colour, different flavour.
Almost a shame to remove this one's comments. This was goddamn hilarious how smug and ignorant this "leftist" liberal is. Couldn't have made a better parody no matter how hard I tried.
