    Defending regimes that commit war crimes and genocide is a hard red line anyone with a hint of morality will refuse to cross, let alone a leftist. I don’t accept these things coming from the West, and I certainly won’t accept it from anybody else.

    You can be a ML all you like. Just don’t be one of the buffoons that support litteral genocide.

    I’m fighting red-browns, not reds. And boy is there plenty of them on Lemmy, although, thankfully, their sphere of influence shrinks daily with the bans and defederations.

    Edit: Being a nazi is not just a word, no. It doesn’t live in the “OK things to be” space.

      So, you voting for Biden? I never said I was a Nazi. You did. I said I don’t care what you call me. There is a difference.

        I’m not an American. I don’t vote in the US.

        You literally said you prefer being called a nazi than a liberal. I did not invent this. This says a lot about your twisted sense of priorities.

          Would you vote for Joe Biden if you were American? I said you can call me whatever you want since you’re hyper focused on labels. Call me Satan’s stillbirth. It doesn’t change the fact that calling people slurs on social media serves fascism.

            Being a genocide-denying tankie serves fascism too, in a more litteral way. On top of, you know, scaring away people that might be interested in leftism?

              You’re yelling at a cloud. I ardently defend Palestinians against their genocide on Lemmy. I don’t like labels, but would be what you call an anarchist. An Internationalist with Council Communist leanings. And I’m here to educate those who think they can have socialism without abolishing capitalism. Marxist Leninists get that, so they are allies. You can’t defend capitalism and be a socialist. It’s that simple.

                I never defended capitalism. I’m actually opposed to it too. And fuck Israel’s persecution of Palestinians.

                You can say those things and still denounce tankism, like the root comment was doing. This should not be contentious.

                Tankies are not the allies of any denomination of anarchists. More like traditional enemies. Defend sane marxist leninists if you’d like, but don’t jump to the defence of tankies, if you don’t want to be assimilated to them.

                  Marxist Leninists hold no offices and have no power in America. Their organization is limited. Hating on them is performative and masturbatory. It strokes the ego. But it also serves fascism by minimizing the coalition needed to fight it. You can hate tankies with the fire of a thousand suns, but they are against the very people we hope to defeat. I’m no fan of authoritarian leftists, but that battle should be saved for the fifth international after we defeat fascism.

                    The enemy of my enemy is not my friend. I refuse to consider tankies to be allies, especially considering their insignificancy: they’re pretty low-value allies all around. I remember what they did to leftists last time they had the chance…
