While I admit it’s possible some people conflate “tankie” with “leftist” and/or “socialist,” I personally do not - as I’ve descried in this very thread. I also don’t think that attitude is very common on Lemmy, either.
Seems like you’re barking up the wrong tree.

I don’t see how disliking tankies is psychotic, but you’re more than welcome to explain if you feel like it.
- Comment on Lemmy users logging on to level set the Blue Wave enjoyers 4 days ago:
How trite. Thank you for your contribution to the discussion.

He would, too.

You understand comments are public, so it makes no sense to lie about previous interactions, right?
Right, so I didn’t, which is why I linked it.
In any case, yes, this explicitly is propaganda, specifically nazi propaganda. Circa 1930s, repackaged in the 1960s.
“This” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here, considering you haven’t specified what you’re talking about unless you mean anti-Stalinist/communist sentiment. Technically true, but in the most ridiculous way possible. Observe:
It was also nazi propaganda that Stalin (and communism) were allies of the nazis, therefore are you an ally of nazis?
Tankies are the violent authoritarian
Define either of these words in a way that excludes any state that has ever or could ever exist. You can’t.
Tankie: Violent authoritarian socialists
violent: Causing or intending to cause damage, injury, or death, often when involving great force.
authoritarian: Characterized by or favoring absolute obedience to authority, as against individual freedom.
Every single state is violent
I can’t tell if you’re being pedantic or you’re just confused, but I’ll help regardless:
I meant relatively violent when compared to others.
All socialists are violent
Absolutely not.
Besides liberals and intellectuals, both of which are not including in the list of ‘victims’ of ‘violent’ socialists, all socialists should want the deaths of landlords and bankers.
In your opinion.
The only possible way you could believe this is if you think all violence is bad
I don’t.
What is your solution to people with unlimited wealth
Not possible, so next:
no morality
Also not possible, next:
and a psychotic devotion to harming society?
Prosecution based on their actions.
You can’t imprison them forever if you’re a poor country. You can’t send them to the fields to try to reform them, they are physically incapable of it at that point. You can’t let them live free, otherwise you will spend half your hard earned resources on defending against them from within and without.
In other words “it is cheaper to kill those who break the law (as written by us?) than to imprison and/or reform them.” While true, that’s the exact thought process behind nazi atrocities, and I reject it as the exact psychotic and harm to society you pretend to be against.

No it isn’t. Facts that you don’t like aren’t automatically propaganda.
Yesterday when we talked about what exactly you believe as far as Stalin, Mao, et al., you just diverted into ad hominem rather than answer the question.
Want to try again?
- Comment on Lemmy users logging on to level set the Blue Wave enjoyers 4 days ago:
That’s tankie propaganda, which seems to be the whole reason for you creating your account.
Tankies are the violent authoritarian wing of socialists, who believe liberals, landlords, bankers, intellectuals, etc. should be put to death. Stalin, Mao, etc.
They’re kinda like fascists as far as loving violence and purging their undesirables except the boot is a different flavor:
“We will live in a utopia if you merely give us the power to kill everyone we dislike!”

You can keep attacking my literacy with no cause if it makes you feel better, but I think I touched a nerve by identifying your beliefs and rejecting them.
Speaking of reading, here’s some you should probably do:
- Comment on and they wonder why reddit stock is tanking 6 days ago:
The term ‘violent authoritarian communism’ is an oxymoron and did not ever exist
Ah okay, then this discussion is over. Sorry to hear you’ve been brainwashed, but I doubt I can fix it today.
- Comment on and they wonder why reddit stock is tanking 6 days ago:
I don’t know if this is a reading comprehension issue, a logic issue, or you’re just arguing in bad faith but I’m growing tired of your game.
- Comment on and they wonder why reddit stock is tanking 6 days ago:
Sure, the simplest explanation is that if you think Stalin was unelected or had unlimited power, or that Mao was a dictator for whom everyone contemporary to him unquestioningly followed, you fell for nazi propaganda.
And I said none of that nor do I believe any of it, so is it safe to say you’re having a big fat juicy straw-man with the rest of your comment and I can skip it?
Is it also safe to say the implied attack on me that I love either that or Hitler is a pretty ridiculous way to enter this thread?
- Comment on and they wonder why reddit stock is tanking 6 days ago:
Yeah you can definitely do the physical act of saying that you love nazi propaganda while disavowing hitler.
… the fuck?
This some kinda silly obvious and intentional straw-man or are you going to follow it up with some kind of explanation?
- Comment on and they wonder why reddit stock is tanking 6 days ago:
All Hitler-lovers hate communism, but not all communism-haters love Hitler.
- Comment on and they wonder why reddit stock is tanking 1 week ago:
Marx is definitely not as bad as Hitler. What are you two on about?
- Comment on and they wonder why reddit stock is tanking 1 week ago:
That’s…
-checks community rules for personal attacks, finds Rule 1 requiring ‘be respectful’-
…not a well-formed stance.

That’s the short version, yes. Here’s what’s left of the full discussion:
lemmy.world/post/48906428/24557933
Unfortunately they nuked the thread, potentially to obscure the evidence. I can’t even tell exactly where the discussion was because of that, but that was the thread.
The TL;DR of it:
Everyone there was dog-piling someone for posting a Xinnie the Pooh meme for being racist.
I asked how that could be racist. (many downvotes)
I got dogpiled by a bunch of people who explained that because Winnie the Pooh’s skin is yellow, it’s occidentalist (a word I learned that day) - some going so far as to say any criticism of China, the CCP, or Xi Xinping is rooted in racism. I explained why I didn’t think any of that is automatically racist, but agreed it could be depending on intent.
Thread nuked and banned.

I like hearing socialist and communist viewpoints to pop my American echo chamber bubble. When all I hear in Florida is how communists crave the destruction of the US and the death of all its people and anyone who disagrees is labeled a communist, you’re not going to have an educated stance on the matter.
I started my Fediverse journey excited to read their federated posts. I think it was signing up for Lemmy that I was forced to read more Marx than I’d read before, not to mention recently (re-)reading Animal Farm, and now I have more compassion for Marxists than I did before.
I’m gradually learning .ml doesn’t federate with others to give a voice to Marxist(-Leninists) who want to interact with others civilly.
I once dared to mention liberals tend to agree soviet bloc housing was one of the things the USSR did right. I was dogpiled and eventually labeled a troll and banned for a while.
I once dared to say I didn’t realize Xinnie the Pooh memes could be racist. I was dogpiled and eventually accused of being orientalist and a fascist and banned for a while.
Now any time I bump into an .ml, they check my mod log on .ml and go on a rant about how I’m a racist and a fascist, stating they have no need to read why I was accused of that because they’re sure their mods/admins are above reproach. I certainly can’t disprove an accusation that requires no evidence - no one can.
I figure either they’re a community of people pretending to be Marxist-Leninist to make people have a bad opinion of Marxist-Leninists…
…or (Fediverse) Marxist-Leninists are yet another group of humans who employ bad faith tactics to attack anyone who isn’t them for funsies.
So they earn quite a bit of hate from the rest of the Fediverse and weaken most people’s opinions of Marxist-Leninists; they’ve certainly eroded mine.

I forgot the subreddit but you can go there and admins just hand out access to 2-3 people at a time.

This is the Halloween anarchists crave.
- Comment on Are certain removals obscured from public view? 1 week ago:
Yeah there’s tons of upsides to Lemmy/the Fediverse over Reddit, in my opinion. We could cite a bunch of them.
This happens to be one of the downsides - unclear “Error!” which is just “OP deleted their post.”
- Comment on Are certain removals obscured from public view? 1 week ago:
One more reason to consider switching instances, I guess.
- Comment on Are certain removals obscured from public view? 1 week ago:
Thought that might be the case. A Lemmy.World bug then?
I tried viewing it from their instance the other day, but I couldn’t.
- Comment on Are certain removals obscured from public view? 1 week ago:
At the top, it says:
#Error!
- Comment on Are certain removals obscured from public view? 1 week ago:
Thanks; how did you know that without mod/admin access?
- Comment on Are certain removals obscured from public view? 1 week ago:
Thank you for looking into that. That would explain there not being a mod log entry about it. I wish I knew how to see that’s what happened myself without bothering an admin, if possible.
Which helps me pivot onto my next point, which is probably not within your wheelhouse, but:
Why on Earth would all future viewing/replying to comments be "Error!"ed? I understand the post itself being pseudo-deleted for OPs’ privacy’s sake, but having a discussion pretend to not exist or be bugged because the OP we’ve forgotten long ago is frustrating.
