Do any of them know what the word "liberal" actually means?
You're viewing a single thread.
I am the only true leftist. The rest of you are posers and/or feds.
Hey, I'm neither of those. I'm an op!
look, tankies aren't leftists, they are fascists wearing the skin of the lefties they killed
Fascism isn't just authoritarianism. It is a certain set of conditions that can essentially be boiled down to as "colonial violence against the imperial core" but it is incredibly more complicated than that.
Words have meaning, and you should look up those meanings before you start just throwing them around.
Words DO have meaning, and you just butchered so many of them it's not even funny.
fundamentally, fascism is the belief that social hierarchies are not only natural but preferable to any other social system that attempts to disrupt said natural order, all other aspects of fascism stem from this one line of understanding
Social hierarchies are always going to be present, even anarchists believe that. Fascism just assumes that they are natural and inherent, while leftists beleive that those hierarchies should be voluntary or chosen by the people.
Just becauae you haven't done any political reading doesn't mean i don't know what words read.
the entire idea of the progressive moment is to abolish these hierarchies, then again the American "leftist" understanding is so fucked at this point that I can see you believing this, as most "communists" in the states are tankies, that would also explain the horrible misunderstanding of fascism along imperial lines, because you literally don't have any other larger critical lens in the states, as most of you aren't upset about the existence of hierarchies, but just have the feeling that you are not in your deserved spot of said hierarchy
Fascism has nothing to do with colonial vs imperial, wtf
Can't have fascism without a strong national identity and an activist military.
Which again is an entirely separate thing from colonialism. The two may go together but they're not necessarily linked in any way.
The political spectrum is not linear, but circular and fascism and communism sit on the join but with different lie.
Coming from a country that experienced both several times in the past century, I hope the real people tankies would just shut up and move to Russia to learn a life lesson.
nope, the Marx Leninist idea of a vanguard party doesn't even purport to be communism, rather the idea that you must go through a phase of state capitalism to grow the nation's capital after a revolution (revolutions tend to destroy capital) before you can enact communism, it's just that during the age of ML Fascism was the popular new political ideology, and Lenin did heavily base the idea of the vanguard party on a lot of the same basic understanding as the fascists did.
and of course the fascists did what they do and killed the lefties
fascism and communism sit on the join but with different lie.
Don't leave us hanging.
that's a stupid definition of fascism.
tankies aren’t leftists

Please tell me this tweet isn’t real
Would him putting on the Darth Vader armor be an analogue to many "toxic" leftists using doxxing sites dominated by the far-right to try and ruin the lives of people that aren't 100% into Stalin?

Yes. Becoming an unkillable cyborg space wizard and outting someone paying for a message board full of Nazi copypasta are the same.
