Reading about FOSS philosophy, degoogling, becoming against corporations, and now a full-blown woke communist (like Linus Torvalds)

                You don’t have to be wrong on the internet. You can just look things up.

                What would become known as the McCarthy era began before McCarthy’s rise to national fame. Following the breakdown of the wartime East-West alliance with the Soviet Union, and with many remembering the First Red Scare, President Harry S. Truman signed an executive order in 1947 to screen federal employees for possible association with organizations deemed “totalitarian, fascist, communist, or subversive”, or advocating “to alter the form of Government of the United States by unconstitutional means.”

                So it wasn’t just the Tankies, it was all communist since communism demands a stateless society.

                  I didn’t say it was just “tankies” but you previously said

                  After I called you a McCarthyist.

                  You know, you don’t have to fail at doing gotchas, you can just recognize you’re an anti-communist like McCarthy and stop.

                    Read it my comment again.

                    Slowly, this time.

                    I believe in you.

            Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to communists who express support for one-party communist regimes that are associated with Marxism–Leninism, whether contemporary or historical.

            Basically those “communist” who they should be in charge of the “transitional” period into a stateless society.

            There really isn’t anyone who is a stalinist, Stalin had some important theoretical contributions but not enough to have a branch of thought, he followed lenin’s ideas pretty much.
