The kind that thinks communism is the same as nazism and thinks communism is when the government does things.
I hate liberal brain worms.
They seriously do as much damage to the left as fascists by punching to the left and spreading capitalist anti-left propaganda. They overall weaken leftism and help fascism.
We need more left unity, folks. Fash ain’t gonna bash themselves.
Depends on the individual. I think for some, it’s just another step of their radicalization.
It took repeated instances of reality being a battering ram against my own liberal delusions until I finally became a “tankie”, until I finally realized that the system is unfixable and “civil debate” will get us nowhere.
Mostly by not considering them left. They are liberals wearing leftist aesthetics. You can not be a nato supporter without being a western supremacist which is barely one step removed from white supremacism, this is incompatible with leftism, it’s only compatible with liberalism and reactionaries.
never allow them to get away with claiming to be left because they aren’t. These people are liberals and will always try to hurt the left.
Some of them may have an individual breakthrough eventually and radicalize, but there’s nothing to be done about them as a group but discredit them
Hexbear scholars have put forth a compelling white paper which dispels all of these anti-tankie arguments

Honestly I don’t know. I write them off as liberals laboring under the delusion that they are leftists, which might be true, but ultimately that does nothing to push them further left
It honestly feels like a fed campaign sometimes. Posing as the left, spewing red scare propaganda and then sitting back and letting the libs fight the commies.
I assume that once material conditions worsen, the non-fed libs eating that shit up won’t be able to hold such a privileged view on ‘evil tankies’ as they start to realize where political power comes from.
This is one issue I’m accelerationist on. The sooner we can get Elon to call Kamala a tankie, the sooner this ends.
In that spirit, I call everyone a tankie. It’s a great week to call Hillary a tankie.
