What's a tankie?
Hard-core authoritarian communist. The kinda peeps who support Stalin and shit
ITT: people who totally want to do something about capitalism but dont wanna be too meaaaaaan.
"I care deeply about the color of the boot"
"The Russian and Chinese boots just taste better, I tell you."
"what if our classless stateless society had the right class controlling the state?"
state means centralization of power, and in a classless society what class and who would represent it in this centralization of power?
The fundamental problem of tankies is that they forget the whole point of socialism is making people's lives better, not getting revenge on the hated capitalists. If you create an oppressive hellscape in the process of destroying capitalism then you've failed.
