They are unironically Marxist-Leninists and actively chase away democratic socialists, and say things like “nuking American is based.”

I’m not sure what else you want.

Communists are very aware that social democracy exists. Social democracy very famously split out of socialist thought. Originally social democracy was another term for socialism.

Communists take issue with the very real fact that social democracy preserves capitalism and thus the exploitation that comes with it. Social democracy simply exports that exploitation. Without the subjugation of the global south, social democracy could not exist. Just because you have exported that exploitation doesn’t mean it went away.

The actual academic take on this is that capitalistic forces are inevitable in the presence of scarcity. We’ve already proven pretty conclusively that mass murder also doesn’t end capitalism, and social democracy has arguably gotten much closer and is far more sustainable.

Never said they weren’t. Said they pretended it doesn’t exist since SocDem provably fixes everything they claim communism does, but it just isn’t fascist enough for them.

Where we’re going we don’t need to cite our sources! Though admittedly this is better than the one guy who told me social democracy exists because USA spends money on their military. Dude was just as clueless as you’d think a communist is haha fucking funny lads you fascists.

right? It’s literally a pan leftist instance, there’s anarchist comms and everything. The thing that people are afraid of when they call people tankies isn’t any particular ideology, it’s just a fear of confident and firm left wing ideology of any sort. In order to not be a tankie, you have to be compromising and undedicated in your left wing beliefs, that’s it, that’s the criteria.
