Hexadecimalkink,

Why are the libs so hung up on criticizing socialists? If you don’t like this forum then go back to reddit.

LittleLordLimerick,

I’m a socialist but not a tankie. Criticizing tankies!= criticizing socialists

ProxyTheAwesome,

Being an anti-communist leftist still makes you an anti-communist

LittleLordLimerick,

Being anti-tankie does not make you anti-communist.

Tankie usually refers to Marxism-Leninism (as well the ideologies that derived from it such as Maoism). But there are communist ideologies that don’t derive from ML such as Orthodox Marxism, trotskyism, libertarian Marxism, bulshevism, etc.

no it usually refers to whatever the fuck the person posting it seems to think it is, there is not a coherent label for it.

Orthodox Marxism, trotskyism, libertarian Marxism, bulshevism, etc.

Oh cool, which societies use those?

Why are you letting libs define everything? You and I both know they’re dumbasses and shouldn’t be taken seriously.

Anyone could have said the same to Marx about communism at any point in his life, as he died before the October revolution.

the difference is you named a bunch of dead ideologies that will never be revived, ML is literally the only form of marxism still flourishing

Speculation and also not relevant.

have you confused the internet for a court room?

DrJenkem,
@DrJenkem@lemmy.blugatch.tube avatar

Nope, just trying to have a rational, good faith discussion.

Your position is idealist and neither rational nor good faith - don’t expect others to meet you with merits your position lacks.

I don’t see how acknowledging that other branches of communism and Marxism exist is idealism, bad faith, or irrational.
