  • Tankies are fucking assholes, fascists are fucking assholes. Both things can be true at once

    Yeah, because you disagree with two things doesn’t make them equal. You want to bitch about tankies, go right ahead. You want to claim they’re equal to fascists, you’re doing the same stupidity liberals do with their horseshoe nonsense, and for the same reason - it lets you take the status quo as a best of all worlds, since anyone who opposes it is obviously an evil authoritarian asshole.

    they think anyone who isn’t on their side is on the opposite side

    I’m not a tankie, yet you keep referring to me as such. So.

    I was criticizing tankies for accusing Mamdani of being a fascist, which is a ridiculous assertion on all levels

    It is. You’re also pretending some schizo posting is an article in Pravda, which somehow still exists and is the party line. You make a strawman of what tankies believe, then claim anyone who disagrees with you is such, and pretend that’s not equally ridiculous.

    I’m not so fucking stupid that I think communists and fascists believe in the same ideals

    The terms you use certainly imply that. So you should probably stop doing that if you don’t want to be considered stupid in that regard.



  • Cause I totally invented the term “red fash”

    Oh, don’t worry, nobody’s accusing you of actually putting enough thought into things to invent that.

    Lenin killed a bunch of communists after they beat him in an election

    The bait and swtich of “all power to the Soviets” to “ummm actually the Party is the people” was actually Trotsky’s particular bullshit, but since the Bolsheviks took it, they own it.

    so tankies gobble his dick

    And you consider everyone who doesn’t swallow your particular brand of ineffective purity a tankie, it seems.

    I don’t agree with plenty of things from the Bolsheviks - the critiques of Luxembourg I think were particularly apt and prescient. But, with that said, I also don’t let my very basic disagreement with that justify alliance with something far worse, the capitalist and fascist forces that the left as a whole opposes. And nonsense like “red fash” does exactly that. And usually seems to follow the Parenti phrased criticism of only allowing respect for revolutions that fail. You’re validating horseshoe theory, the most nonsense liberal rewriting of history.

    You want, you can go kill all the Bolsheviks you really want to after the revolution. Until then, it’s the same counterproductive and idiotic posturing that the Stalinist for Fashion idiots demonstrate, except with a black flag instead of a red one.





  • Meh, while Trump wasn’t as gung-ho as Blinken later was under Biden, he also wasn’t particularly helpful to Russia either in anything but saying the quiet parts loud.

    He was impeached first time for trying to make weapons he was sending to Ukraine conditional on digging up dirt on Biden, for example - but he was also sending more weapons than under Obama.

    Russiagate was much more a phenomena of the Dem aligned media finding a topic that they could use against Trump while NOT also challenging their leadership. So that left out any economic fights (that was for bitter BernieBros), Epstein, and even emoluments. Russiagate was mostly conspiracy theories done by Rachel Maddow, but it did have the main effect of not bothering Democratic leadership. We even saw them weaponizing it against the left, as for example when Bernie was leading in Nevada in 2020.



  • The DNC have not had more than 48 senators in 13 years

    Are you actually trying to claim the Democrats did not control the Senate starting in 2021? Sanders and King both caucus with the Democrats.

    and… oh look… Republican Filibuster.

    And thanks for bringing that point full circle . . . amazing how the GOP can pass laws when they control Congress, and yet the Dems can’t. And sad sacks like you just make up excuse after excuse.

    Which isn’t fooling anyone, btw, except yourselves.

    I didn’t ask about your illuminati theories, dude.

    This isn’t some obscure knowledge. Maybe actually read the news instead of asking ChatGPT for talking points in the future.
