JT has been an ML for like two years at least, he has talked about this openly
People who dedicate their lives to anti-communism are legit some of the dumbest people out there

It’s in the same vein as “hate-watchers” if you’ve heard the term before. The sub and community solely exist to latch onto people they see as targets and then project their rancid wishes and thoughts onto.
Actually, no they don’t.

If JT is a tankie I’m the resurrection of Stalin
I think JT is more radical than he lets on in his content because at the end of the day his videos are a gateway for liberals to think critically about socialism and aren’t really designed to be consumed by convinced Marxists. Screaming about how we have to critically support the DPR or Hezbollah would obviously satisfy people like us but it risks alienating a huge portion of the people his videos are directed at
Yes he has a defined spot in the pipeline, getting social Democrats and the like to like communism. Just be doesn’t fit in the Liberal stereotype of a “tankie” n I was joking about that
I think you’re being a little harsh here. Most of his takes are good. I think he made that video earlier on in the conflict, too.
Yea he is a great YouTuber and comrade, but bruh when I think of the buzzword “tankie” I think about a guy with a Juche t shirt, a hammer and sickle pair of pants and a Lenin underwear set that does nothing but saying “stalin did nothing wrong” he is far too nice to be accused of being a “tankie”
True. These type’s probably call AOC a tankie though 😂
Juche t shirt, a hammer and sickle pair of pants and a Lenin underwear set that does nothing but saying “stalin did nothing wrong”
So, i need to get juche t-shirt too.
What would make him more “tankie” may I ask?
Idk maybe not saying the classic “both sides” about the Ukraine war
I mean I guess there is a distinction of nuance between us that support Marxism Lenninism in the 21st century. Maybe it is because of a lack of information to side one way or the other. I think it is important for Americans of this tendancy to lean towards pushing the American armed forces to do less foreign intervention because we see how terrible the results are. I agree that a Russian victory would strike a blow against American imperialism. However Putin has done things that are not very cash money in the cause of Marxism Lenninism, like taking advantage and contributing to the undemocratic fall of the USSR, (among other things)
Did Putin contribute to the fall of the USSR? I feel like that’s blaming someone for sinking a ship when they didn’t turn up until after it had hit the bottom. Ownership of the nation’s assets had distributed to the people and then bought up and concentrated into the oligarchs long before he took over from Yeltsin.
Lenninism is icky yucky
No u
Took way too long for this account to get banned…has been spouting anti-ML BS for a while now.
What do you mean? Your personal feelings of disgust emerge from your surroundings. What in particular about what Lennin’s USSR grosses you out so much? He liberated the Russian people from the monarchs and turned the Russian country from a backward nation to a spacefaring nation fighting toe to toe with the most advanced capitalist country in a short time.
