"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

What are some of your guys' biggest red flags when it comes to talking to people about politics? (they don't really know what they're talking about) Personally one of mine is when people call the USSR Russia

For discussions "tankie". It suggests they have gone down that particular liberal anticommunism rabbit hole, they have people reinforcing these believes, and they aren't interested in genuine discussion beyond name calling. Very unlikely that you manage to change their mind or even just have an interesting or pleasant conversation.

In person, there might be enough common ground to do something. Online, stay clear.

It is sometimes an oppurtunity to advertise for those lurking how awesome being a tankie is.

Leftist infighting as a performance. Not sure who that's good for.

I just tell them I wish we had tanks and block. But honestly on Lemmy I don't encounter those people much, I know where they are.

True but given the limitations of being (terminally?) online it may help battle test our framings for the non-online world.

I found that I can just be online somewhere else or block people.
