Don’t read Marx. It clearly explains reality and allows you to understand how you’re being exploited. You’ll also have much quicker realizations about why politicians do the things they do and why building community is actively discouraged. If you knew all that you might start to question the current status quo and that’s bad tankie stuff

IIRC, Engels was nicknamed ‘artilleryman-philosopher’ when he served in Prussian army.

The automod response is from https://www.reddit.com/r/tankiejerk

Their bigger posts from their front page I noticed include someone whining that someone put out agitprop condemning the zionist entity’s continued violations of human rights and the natural response to such, and hand waiving away all the atrocities the US committed in Korea as “well who invaded first.” So, yeah, bot checks out.

Got called a Fascist Brownshirt by a Tankie

I was arguing with this Tankie on tiktok (waste of time I know) & we were talking about the 2024 election. I said that it doesn’t make someone a “bad-leftist” if they don’t vote 3rd party in 2024 & that it is perfectly reasonable for a leftist to vote democratic in 2024. He then preceded to say that I was “encouraging genocide” (despite my statement earlier that I DO support Palestine) & that the republican and democratic party are the exact same thing. He then called me a “Fascist blackshirt Marxist” and blocked me.

And thus I join this sub

You can tell this happened because the tankie called them a Marxist for voting as a democrat.

Any thoughts on Pete Buttigieg?

Just merge with the neoliberal sub already. This place is a joke.

(mod) Trust me, we’ve been trying for months to fix the liberal problem. We’ve managed to reduce the amount of liberal rhetoric being spread on here, but we haven’t managed to actually drive most of the liberals out (as shown by our monthly ideology poll).

What the fuck are they replacing liberals with?
