    This comment thread is on fire, there are interesting discussions going on but most of it is getting to be to vitriolic for my tastes.

    Locking this shit down. We’re here for the memes… Not whatever the fuck is going on down here.

    For those here for the drama, scroll back up. There is no salvation here!

          The flag you use in your profile picture has been used by that ideology many times. Thomas Sankara in Burkina Faso or the Sandinista revolution in Nicaragua spring to mind.

            Do you mean the red/black in the profile picture? Lol that’s supposed to be an anarchist symbol. I can’t control what authoritarians do with an anarchist symbol 🤷‍♂️

            I mean like… am I supposed to create a new symbol every time someone steals it?

            Edit: Also: wtf? I googled the country and they use Red/Green. I can’t find a source saying they used Red/Black

              It’s the ancom flag and has been used to represent the hand in hand coalition of anarchist and communist forces many many times. You’d enjoy learning about the Sandinistas in Nicaragua they had a cool thing going on, got fucked by the americans though. The CNT also used it in revolutionary Spain which was again the coalition of ML and anarchists.

              None of these are “stealing it”. They are anarchists and communists working together.

                Anarcho-Communists are supposed to be different from Marxist-Leninists. If there were 2 factions of these ideologies that formed a coalition, then they are no “Anarcho-Communists”, just MLs cosplaying as AnComs.

                I mean… how can someone call themselves an Anarcho-Communist and support a dictatorship? That’s some crazy doublethink right there.

                  Can you give me an example of the ancom flag being raised by revolutionaries that hasn’t involved a coalition between anarchists and communists? I don’t think there’s a single instance of it historically but I’d be really interested in seeing an example if one exists.

                  When the group is only made up of anarchists, the black flag is raised. The entire symbolic point of the red and black flag is the coalition of the two.

                  Calling the Spanish revolutionaries “MLs cosplaying as ancoms” is absurd historical revisionism, and really honestly offensive to everyone that fought and lost to the fascists.

        So, I follow the Texas Tribune, and we get a story or two every week about heat waves in Texas prisons killing another dozen people while the state legislature refuses to fund air condition to get temperatures under 90 degrees inside cells. We also get the periodic story about migrant detention camps on the border with agents caught doing human trafficking, physical and sexual abuse up to and including outright torture, and the horrific death of small children. Finally, there’s the annual tradition of investigating Texas CPS or Texas Juvenile detention officials for a new raft of allegations involving agents trading nude pictures of children for narcotics or cash.

        Every day a new horror in the Lone Star State, and we just kinda shrug and insist this is how a liberal democracy with a well-educated electorate and professional political institutions are supposed to behave.

            Okay, sorry, it’s just often tankies will say “what is a tankie?” because of the reasons I mentioned. Case in point, look at the person saying “what the fuck is a tankie” then immediately mocking the person who answered them.

            I’m sorry for my snark, I slept poorly and should probably not be interacting with people rn.

            Edit: oh, looks like that thread was nuked so I was wrong about the question already being answered lol. I owe you even more apologies ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

            Basically a tankie is someone that wants to be a socialist or a communist but thinks that means supporting the USSR or Maoist China, which are self-admittedly state capitalist.

            The term originally comes from people who supported the USSR rolling tanks into Hungary to crush their rebellion. Lately such people have supported Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on the basis that anything anti-US interests is somehow socialist, despite modern Russia just being a nakedly hypercapitalist/fascist dystopia, and also despite the expansionist invasion just being like super obviously evil.

              That’s super informative, so most people are just ignoringly saying that communism pertains to USSR or Maoist China when they were actually capitalist states? Is this a recent development?

                Yes. It seems to be a propaganda echo chamber they’ve placed themselves in where they wholesale distrust any western/European media and 100% trust all Chinese/Russian state media. They full on defend Russia and China as a core part of their political ideology.

            Tankies are not lefists.

            The only folks I ever see accused of being tankies are to the left of the folks claiming they are tankies. Sometimes that means you’re talking to Michael Moore. Sometimes that means you’re talking to Pete Buttigieg. Sometimes that means you’re talking to Mitt Romney. But its always a guy to your left.

            The only thing they believe is America Bad

            The dirty little secret about American politics is that everyone thinks America Bad. Texas conservatives hate California. New York liberals hate Florida. Half of Michigan hates the other half. When the US gets hit by a hurricane, its either because the state at ground zero is too Christian or too Libertarian or too Gay, take your pick.

            If hating America is all it takes to be a Tankie…

                Russian Communism, such that it was, got dismantled way back in the 90s. Outside the handful of terminally online grifters that branded themselves MAGA-Communists or whatever, who is seriously conflating the United Russia Party leadership with your Allendes or Castros or Mandelas?

              Einstein is a jewish that lived through the Russian revolution and lived in Germany during the rise of Hitler before his escape to the US. As far as period accounts he’s as good as you’re gonna get, and I don’t know about you but I don’t think we’re going to find a more intelligent person alive during that period but if you want to give examples that aren’t nazis or people that said nice things about nazis I’m certainly open to them.

              And he was an extremely active leftist politically during the period. You should read his essay, Why Socialism? It’s a good introductory piece for people.

              Also something of a smart man.

              Page 14 of the 260 page FBI file on him states the following:

              Not even Stalin himself is affiliated with so many anarcho-communist international groups to promote this “preliminary condition” of world revolution and ultimate anarchy, as Albert Einstein.

              Those files are a fun read, do recommend them. Available on the FBI vault here.

                So…yeah, a naked appeal to authority. Einstein was nigh-unmatchable in his field, but that doesn’t mean his intelligence was applicable to every other field. In fact, one of the worst things you can do is consider an expert in one field an automatic ‘authority’ in others.

                Comrade, I appreciate your willingness to engage, but we’re materialists, not followers of the Great Man theory.

                While there are many commendable actions Einstein took as a political activist, I imagine you’re not going to defend this xenophobia.

                It’s fine if you included the Einstein quote in there as a note to end on, but it shouldn’t be your argument, since honestly, Einstein’s political views shouldn’t mean more solely on the basis of breakthroughs in physics (despite what Einstein claims). I would instead have frame challenged their comment to point out that the US claims to be such a “democratic utopia” but is definitely an “authoritarian dictatorship” itself. Maybe follow up with a quote about how any of the countries that didn’t do something succumbed to the US’ anticommunist efforts

You guys from lemmygrad need to learn from hexbear and learn when not to be self-wreckers when dealing with libs, all this does is function as support for the libs in this thread, of course nobody supports the sinophobic shit, find me a comrade that wasn’t fucking weird about asians at the time - good luck.
