Tankies aren't communists.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

"Tankie" is a pejorative that basically looks like an exact replica of McCarthy's strawman of a Communist. The purpose of the term is to claim the accused that they genuinely hold those McCarthyian characteristics, regardless of reality. It shuts down conversation because it would be inconvenient to have those conversations, it's a thought-terminating cliché more than a real thing.

Here are some thoughts:

Marx said communism is stateless

The state won't wither away if you keep defending its right to use force

The vanguard party must either accept revolution against themselves so that society can become more communist, or become reactionary tyrants

Modern Russia isn't fucking socialist, you don't need to defend it anymore

State capitalism isn't socialism. State socialism requires robust democracy

Every actual successful communist nation that reached communism didn't have a vanguard state

Being an enemy of the West doesn't mean a country inherently deserves your support. That's how voting works, it's not how international relations work

Trump is planning to displace the Palestinians and make Gaza a US colony, and Lemmy's Marxist-Leninist community tried to help him

Having a small movement with little power isn't an excuse for making bad decisions. Take responsibility for your actions

Drag is not seeking to have an argument about each and every one of these points. Drag is seeking to prove that "tankie bad" is not a thought terminating cliche as you said. Drag has plenty of thoughts, and has already discussed them exhaustively on this platform. And this list of thoughts isn't an invitation to sealion.

Yeah, at this point the word "tankie" is used so liberaly that communists are just one type of "tankie".
