"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

Somebody wrote a paper about us. Apologies to the mods for not censoring names but given that it is literally public I couldn't give a shit.

I find their abstract really funny.. and its even funnier that they are watching us.

Lol this what passes off as academia. Good thing about the natural sciences is that you can’t provide definitions to things or make assumptions without empirical evidence…in a research paper.

‘Authoritarian’ ‘left wing extremism’… all meaningless buzzwords, without which this article would be indecipherable.

My favourite one is referring to us as "tankies"

[–] Arlaerion@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Question: If we get called tankies because we support the use of tanks to prevent color-revolutions on two prominent occasions, what are libs called that support indiscriminately bombing countries all over the world because they do things the imperial core does not like (you know that evil stuff like liberation, self-determination, kicking out colonizing forces etc.)?

to be honest it's also an extremely effective method to turn people away from communism. when people describe marxism or communist projects (as in real AES) they can slander them as idealist and marx as that even though he would have a conniption because his body of work was dedicated to the opposite so fervently. then the scientific socialists, the dictatorial tankies, coexist with the label of fanciful stupid idealists whose beliefs can never translate to reality and are incoherent so please don't actually read what marx said thanks
