    Yeah, some of these posts get wild. It’s a shame, since the actual communists are cool.

    It is interesting seeing the left’s version of MAGAts, though.

        It’s not, and those aren’t the comments myself or the person I responded to were talking about. And yes, that take is dumb.

        We were talking about the tankies – in the original meaning of the word as coined by communists, not as a slur against communists in general. Authoritarianism and its apologists can get fucked. People that think we’re in a zero-sum-game where they have to offset the (legitimate) evils of “the west” by being equally disgusting and brutal while on “the left” are fucking morons and don’t deserve the title “communist”.

          Where are people on this Internet forum being as disgusting and brutal as US imperialism? You know, the global hegemon, violently enforced through hybrid warfare
