tankie = a person who thinks that USSR quelling the Budapest uprising by deploying the army (hence tanks) was the right choice; nowadays it’s used been co-opted as a derogatory for any revolutionary socialist and/or anti-imperialist
“Tankie” can be co-opted as an insult against all leftists, but many leftists use it to specify authoritarian leaning Marxist-Leninists or Maoists. Equating the term as mainly referring to “any revolutionary socialists and/or anti-imperialists” is uninformed at best, and disingenuous normalization at worst. Authoritarian Marxism has never and will never be tolerated on 196, just like any authoritarianism from any ideology. Consider this a final warning.
196 has a great stance, and excellent moderation.
“we don’t like fascists. we don’t care if your fascist hat is red, brown, black, or furry” basically
Oh shit, the fur right is a thing?
referencing an ushanka there. ushankas with hammers and sickles are particularly popular with red fascists where i’m at
Ohhh, d’oh.
But cmon you gotta admit the fur right is a great name if there are furry Nazis.
but also yes. there are furry fascists who show up at conventions and try to promote their ideologies in what are otherwise queer friendly leftist spaces. they’re a lot like ultra conservative gay men in that they think their identity and their politics can be divorced and they really wish we could all get away from identity politics… all while practicing politics that place everyone into identity hierarchies and demanding conformity to their cultural ideals.
it’s like “the only ethical abortion is my abortion” but it’s “the only acceptable kink is the one i do”
I would argue that “tankie” isn’t an antirevolutionary term. It refers to authoritarian sympathizing “leftists”, but opposing authoritarianism doesn’t make you against revolution inherently. I mean, if a revolution were to happen tomorrow I wouldn’t be opposed. Yet, I’m not a tankie.
Ok, that’s fair. I think in the context of this meme it was used in a more broad sense tho. It compares reformist “socdems” with “tankies”, who are therefore “any revolutionaries” by contrast.
It’s too late, I have already depicted you as the soyjack and myself as the chad.
I thought Tankie specifically referenced Stalinists.
Usually, but any support of authcom falls under the umbrella, imo.
He needs Gowron eyes.
Wait, a .ml user confusing socialists and social democrats? That kind of blunder is reserved for .world users!
Jokes aside, social democrats and socialists are mutually exclusive. Social democracy is capitalism, socialism is by definition not.
Nowadays the umbrella is pretty broad, people like Mamdani are often indeed called or identify as socdems, and yet they’re also reformist socialists.I just had a brainfart and swapped the words “democratic” and “socialist” around, my bad
Yup! That’s why democratic socialists are a thing! Though, I think that term only exists to emphasize that socialism is not inherently antidemocratic, as red scare bs would have one beleive.
