Just going to add another post discussing this; I did a write-up of the constant use of ‘degenerate’ as an insult specifically in the MoG comm, posted on hexbear, and cited the inciting incident as the latest people to get dubbed ‘tankies’ by this crew.

It’s a fascist dogwhistle, especially the way its use is normalized on MoG. Their specialty is in turning everyone they disagree with into a ‘tankie’ that can’t possibly have a point, and consequently all abuse is then fair game. Ironic that they immediately started trying to flip the script with accusations of ‘tankie bar’

Thanks! the only correction I have is that I’m actually an anarchist, I feel like a broken record sometimes having to explain that.

It might be the constant defence of the PRC, the repeating of Russian propaganda on Ukraine, and simping for an instance that literally removes posts which point out genocide by fascist polities which are painted red, which cause people to correct identify you elsewise.

Believe it or not, passing your online purity tests about geopolitics is not what makes someone an anarchist.

Your use of ‘tankie’ is just ‘disagrees with me from the left’ and it’s been on full display.

as I said earlier:

Yes, it is quite apparently that you regard playing apologist for fascist states performing genocide as completely in-line with anarchism, bizarre as it is. I guess ‘purity testing’ is ‘questioning whether simping for fascism is really compatible with anarchist thought’, especially considering that you openly support .ml’s removal of anything critical of fascist states.

Ah, so defending genocide is a leftist position now. It must be the People’s Genocide.

Wild how every argument with you speedruns straight to hyper-fixating on what Americas enemies are doing.

you regard playing apologist for fascist states performing genocide as completely in-line with anarchism,

I would never play apologist for the fascist states of America and their genocidal war on the Palestinian people, You were the one spending all your energy browbeating everyone expressing disgust with genocide Joe and bomber Harris.

Funny hearing lectures on “what anarchism is” from a social democrat who’s more interested in purity testing leftists on lemmy than building anything outside the ballot box.

Dude explicitly doesn’t want to build anything outside the ballot box. In fact, he considers any alternative than capitalist liberal democracy as “fascism” and would support even violent paramilitary suppression of such. No matter what it is.

He clearly has the Fukuyama brainworms.

I’ve explicitly said otherwise, and in conversations with you, no less. But don’t let that stop your attempt to pretend that supporting genocide is somehow justified because “A DemSoc I called a lib was mean to me :'(”

lmao

Because I regard elections as preferable to a coup explicitly along Bolshevik lines? Bolshevik lines being, in the case that we discussed, quite literally the dissolution of a leftist democratic government the year before?

Nothing like supporting the Vanguard Party suppressing democratic elections to really be a good anarchist, huh?

Astounding that you prefer the taste of boot leather to the horrible position of opposing genocide.

I’ve explicitly said otherwise, and in conversations with you, no less. But don’t let that stop your attempt to pretend that supporting genocide is somehow justified because “A DemSoc I called a lib was mean to me :'(”

Lol ye I already saw your opinion on what you would support if an actual alternative outside the ballot existed. You’d go full fash :D

The democratic elections that ultimately brought about Hitler. Sure, one of us definitelly supports a path that leads directly to fascism.

Lol ye I already saw your opinion on what you would support if an actual alternative outside the ballot existed. You’d go full fash :D

… the “actual alternative outside the ballot” being proposed was a literal fucking coup explicitly along the lines of the ideology that had overthrown a democratically elected leftist government the year before.

“If you don’t support fascism with red paint, you’re the real fascist!”

And you wonder why I call you a tankie apologist.

The democratic elections that ultimately brought about Hitler. Sure, one of us definitelly supports a path that leads directly to fascism.

The dissolution of the united front brought down the left coalition in Weimar Germany, which brought about Hitler. The KPD, whose boots your are insistently licking, withdrew from the united front, at the behest of Stalin.

But tell me more about how your proposed fascist coup would have stopped fascism!

I’m sure the paramilitary murders from the SPD had nothing to do with that.

It’s also fascinating how everything outside of capitalist liberal democracy is “fascist” to you now. Literally zero understanding of fascism. You sound like that meme from the Venezuelan diplomat.

I’m sure the paramilitary murders from the SPD had nothing to do with that.

You think Stalin ordered the KPD to stop cooperating with leftist parties in Weimar Germany because the SPD stopped a coup attempt a decade earlier?

Comrade Stalin, just looking out for the moral purity of his German comrades, huh?

… an attempt to implement a totalitarian authoritarian state based on military force and imposing the will of a small party on a wider population under the justification that the will of the minority knows best is generally pretty close to fascism, yes.

I suspect few anarchists would agree with simping for that, but hey, you’ve certainly proved you’re not like other anarchists. Very far from them, in fact!

Given that you’ve literally painted every anarchist you’ve interacted in lemmy as “fascist” and “tankie”, it seems that we’re all more closer ideologically to each other than you claim. But you’re probably confusing us with the ideal “anarchist” in your head, who happens to sound something like Pugjesus apparently :D

For you, much like the tankies you paint us as, a good Anarchist is the one who acts like you want them to act.

Given that you’ve literally painted every anarchist you’ve interacted in lemmy as “fascist” and “tankie”,

Fucking what?

But you’re probably confusing us with the ideal anarchist in your head, who happens to sound something like Pugjesus apparently :D

No? The ideal anarchist sounds nothing like me. I speak to anarchists on here all the fucking time - but I guess you only understand your own narrow social circle, wherein anarchy is somehow compatible with Holodomor denial and Uyghur genocide.

You’ll do anything to simp for fascist hierarchies, I guess.

Fucking what?

you’ve literally painted every anarchist you’ve interacted in lemmy as “fascist” and “tankie”,

Name one.

you’ve literally painted every anarchist you’ve interacted in lemmy as “fascist” and “tankie”,

lmao

Name one.

Rockerface. Was that supposed to be some kind of gotcha? You could’ve at least said “Name ten” and made me think for a few moments.

Lol, every anarchist in the anarchist instance is a tankie

What?

but the one person (you claim is an anarchist) that hangs out with goat all the time, is gone. Figures.

Fucking what.
