Even if you disagree with them, Trotskyists are not tankies, simple Marxists aren’t tankies, leftists curious and exploring different theories aren’t tankies, and ffs anarchists like myself are not tankies.
I feel like “tankie” indicated a very specific worldview at one time, but it’s been used lately a lot to mean things like “doesn’t agree with nations supporting oppression and inequity up to and including genocide” – which is drastically at odds with how I’ve seen the term used in the past, no?
I saw that community hit trending, but I didn’t know you got banned, damn. That community is sus – doesn’t really appear to be about leaving ML. I browse by all > new a lot, and I’ve seen a number of similar anti-“tankie” communities pop up all at once on several instances. I half think maybe a few people got upset by a recent thread on [email protected] asking people if they’re tankies.
If you don’t mind me asking, what app are you using that lets you do a keyword search like that? I use Jerboa, but I don’t think it has that function.
I literally just use the web browser bcs I’m spiritually a boomer despite physically being a zoomer
Well looks like the boomer is me because I just learned that it is possible to do a keyword search like that for one user. Thank you kindly!
