It’s gotten to the point where even the mildest effective leftism will have at least one idiot crying tankie.

I’ve seen a lot of anarchists get called tankies even.

    It’s fitting how I see this thread immediately after coming from an Instagram post with this meme:

    The comments are what you’d expect, including people accusing “tankies” of being “functionally right-wing” 🤮🤮🤮🤮

    Sectarianism is a poison that I can’t see as anything such. I feel like it perks up from people wanting to have a clique with a “kewl” aesthetic instead of upholding genuine leftist principles.

    I have gotten to a point where I, an anarcho-communist, have just started calling myself a “communist” more than an “anarcho-communist” or “anarchist” alone because I don’t want people to think that I have beef with Marxists. I only want to kiss them actually crush

    Sometimes, I even just say “leftist” to be even more broad, but it might be a mistake because even succdems apply that term to themselves somewhat often, so once again: 🤮🤮🤮🤮

    At the end of the day, when I’m more concerned about capitalists, fascists, imperialists, reactionaries, etc. trying to crush this world, I functionally don’t have much time to bicker over the means of achieving communism that much, even though I have my own opinions about that subject.
