Maybe they are conflating patsocs and tankies? Either way it reeks of liberal crap

    Man has one weird interaction on the internet that probably didn’t even went like this and thinks all ML’s are neonazi’s somehow.

    I had this idea of ‘tankies’ and GenZedong for a while as well, but then I went to actually interact with them and all my preconceptions went out the window.

    How anyone can come to a place like this and think we hate any group of humans except for capitalists is beyond me.

    National and racial chauvinism is a vestige of the misanthropic customs characteristic of the period of cannibalism. Anti-semitism, as an extreme form of racial chauvinism, is the most dangerous vestige of cannibalism.

    Anti-semitism is of advantage to the exploiters as a lightning conductor that deflects the blows aimed by the working people at capitalism. Anti-semitism is dangerous for the working people as being a false path that leads them off the right road and lands them in the jungle. Hence Communists, as consistent internationalists, cannot but be irreconcilable, sworn enemies of anti-semitism.

    In the U.S.S.R. anti-semitism is punishable with the utmost severity of the law as a phenomenon deeply hostile to the Soviet system. Under U.S.S.R. law active anti-semites are liable to the death penalty.

      Can we get more rules like this?

        Unfortunately, that doesn’t serve the interests of capital. So for us in the ‘international community’… nope.

    This is one of the more incomprehensible Tankie stereotypes. I have never known tankies to be anything but completely sympathetic of the Jewish people and their plight. Must be convenient to just be able to lump us in with the nazbols and patsocs.

    These people encounter one terminally online Maoist or Patsoc and then extrapolate that all MLs are like that.

    Reminds me of a time I went to an anarchist sub where people were saying, “tankies support the Taliban!”, because some Trot group idk where came out in support of them.

    They literally just make up shit to get angry at— it’d be funny if it wasn’t so pathetic or concerning.

    Reminder that to people who use the word tankie, MLs are not even tankies!

    If you communicate right, you can outright admit support for China and the USSR and they will never call you a tankie. You’ll be one of the “good” MLs lmao.

    The tankie is a complete strawman, a windmill even.
