I don’t know where to land on the question, their consistency of shitting on “tankies” is truly something to behold.

    I had the misfortune of learning who PugJesus was yesterday and I think the latter is more likely than the former. What fed would be so diligent? They just seem to do it for the love of the game.

    Once went on a date with an anarchist who hated tankies, back before I understood what people meant when they said the word “tankie”. It was weird. Would not recommend.

      Always suspicious when someone claims to be “left” but spends more time blindly hating other leftist tendencies than they do capitalism. I can disagree with anarchists while recognising they still want to help people and make the world a better place. Sectarianism only helps the rich.

        Right, my stance is that leftist infighting is bad. We can work together or do our own things and form a united front when needed, but there’s no point fighting each other, so it’s weird when someone wants to have a fight with me that I don’t want to have with them.

        I’ve always had it that the baseline is understanding dialectical materialism. If both parties are truly materialist, then the disagreements are discussion rather than fundamentals.

        The “anarchists” who are also not materialist easily show their whole ass when being asked about what the next steps for a new revolutionary government would be and how that government would defend itself against imperialists as well as how the government would implement their bureaucracy.
