What magical step do you think is going to get us to abolish money and have a classless moneyless society? You need a vanguard communist party to use the state apparatus to destroy the bourgeoisie in a transitory socialist phase before achieving communism (said classless moneyless society).
The transitory phase is called the dictatorship of the proletariat. It’s not equivalent to socialism - read State and Revolution. The DoTP also must be an international process to be successful. Tankies don’t understand the importance of the international revolution and think dotp = “socialism” = state capitalism because they don’t actually read Lenin, they just took Stalin’s word on what Lenin said
It’s always just leftists who aren’t western brand “leftists”, i.e. completely averse to action and change.
Libs will demonize all forms of action and analysis of oppression and then wonder why things just keep getting worse despite them doing a lot of useless, performative things. In the lack of a correct theory, it always comes down to “it’s those damn Asians!!!”
Marxist-Leninist - followers of the ideology of the Stalinist counter-revolution. These people are still around but are barely relevant anymore since the fall of the USSR.
Terminally online leftoid who thinks they’re a Marxist-Leninist, is really just a soc-dem who hates America and likes soviet aesthetics. Believes a ton of mutually contradictory shit because they don’t take communism seriously and get all their info from memes and other terminally online leftoids.
The point is it tankie is an amorphous McCarthyist insult. No one knows exactly what you’re saying because most of the people who use it aren’t on exactly the same page. I’ve been called a tankie for supporting Cuba’s new family code and the intensely democratic process behind it and for saying the taean work system is a good system.
We really don’t know. Unless your definition is someone who supported the Soviet Union sending in tanks to put down the coup in Hungary, then its pretty devoid of meaning
The pure (libertarian) socialists’ ideological anticipations remain untainted by existing practice. They do not explain how the manifold functions of a revolutionary society would be organized, how external attack and internal sabotage would be thwarted, how bureaucracy would be avoided, scarce resources allocated, policy differences settled, priorities set, and production and distribution conducted. Instead, they offer vague statements about how the workers themselves will directly own and control the means of production and will arrive at their own solutions through creative struggle. No surprise then that the pure socialists support every revolution except the ones that succeed.
Fuck tankies, abolish money (and the state and the class society when we are already on it)

You can be a communist without being a fucking tankie. Fuck off back to lemmygrad.
I’d love for you to explain exactly what you mean by “tankie”

Tankie Is a guy that likes propane over charcoal.

There are 2 types:
Marxist-Leninist - followers of the ideology of the Stalinist counter-revolution. These people are still around but are barely relevant anymore since the fall of the USSR.

Yes, we do.
You mean “Woke”
“Woke” on foreign policy…
buddy, we’re already on Hexbear, that’s how federation works
We really don’t know. Unless your definition is someone who supported the Soviet Union sending in tanks to put down the coup in Hungary, then its pretty devoid of meaning
How? By not supporting any AES or any revolution that succeeded?
Fuck off back to reddit where western chauvinists are welcome
Sounds pretty tankie to me
And how do you propose we actually go about doing this?
Go back to your Fox News
What makes you think they like fox news?
Bruh what part of that made you think they watch Faux News?
Oh, lemmygrad. Away, tankie
Do you support the US sending cluster bombs, rockets and tanks to Ukraine?
Sure do. Ukraine can certainly make far better use of them defending their homes, than the US ever did using them for anything.
If Russia didn’t want Ukraine using cluster bombs, rockets, and tanks, they shouldn’t have used them first. Fight fire with fire.
You do realize Ukraine is using those cluster bombs on their own territory right?
For the next 30 years Ukrainian children will have their arms blown off playing catch with friends in the park, and you’re cheering
“Defending their territory”
You’re a gutless bloodthirsty pearl clutcher
Okay tankie
A nazi-loving one too, how neat
If Ukraine didn’t want Russia using cluster bombs, rockets, and tanks, they shouldn’t have tried to do a genocide in the Donbas
Slava Ukraini and kill the bear. Ready to set condition 1SQ for strategic nuclear launch. Hooyah America. Come and get some.
Why do you think you’re a communist?
Tankie.
