Ye no one was aware I existed until my mom went

somethings different

Are you trying to say this how how “tankies” think? But you’re the one doing the tankie or good leftist thing though?? I genuinely have no clue what’s going anymore, say what you mean or leave I’m not neuronormie enough for this

make your point or don’t. i don’t even know what you’re trying to do here 😐

inchoate criticism of “tankies”, like this, is a tell for people who don’t actually believe in things, just know how to be a member of cliques and swing identities around.

If you just want to repeat the party line and be applauded as a fine parrot with beautiful feathers; there are many antitankie comms that would be happy to host you. Why not go there?

pure projection lol. Your brave antitankie stance is designed to garner upvotes by your fellow antitankie crusaders. There’s no argument, just “lol tankies amirite” smugposting

A prototypic Red-basher who pretended to be on the Left was George Orwell. In the middle of World War II, as the Soviet Union was fighting for its life against the Nazi invaders at Stalingrad, Orwell announced that a “willingness to criticize Russia and Stalin is the test of intellectual honesty. It is the only thing that from a literary intellectual’s point of view is really dangerous” (Monthly Review, 5/83). Safely ensconced within a virulently anticommunist society, Orwell (with Orwellian doublethink) characterized the condemnation of communism as a lonely courageous act of defiance. Today, his ideological progeny are still at it, offering themselves as intrepid left critics of the Left, waging a valiant struggle against imaginary Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist hordes.

Sorely lacking within the U.S. Left is any rational evaluation of the Soviet Union, a nation that endured a protracted civil war and a multinational foreign invasion in the very first years of its existence, and that two decades later threw back and destroyed the Nazi beast at enormous cost to itself. In the three decades after the Bolshevik revolution, the Soviets made industrial advances equal to what capitalism took a century to accomplish—while feeding and schooling their children rather than working them fourteen hours a day as capitalist industrialists did and still do in many parts of the world. And the Soviet Union, along with Bulgaria, the German Democratic Republic, and Cuba, provided vital assistance to national liberation movements in countries around the world, including Nelson Mandela’s African National Congress in South Africa.

M. Parenti Blackshirts and Reds

Or a more “choate” criticism of Orwell is here.

Haaah beat me to posting revth0t they legitimately are so cool and correct

Many on the U.S. Left have exhibited a Soviet bashing and Red baiting that matches anything on the Right in its enmity and crudity.

…

Some leftists and others fall back on the old stereotype of powerhungry Reds who pursue power for powers sake without regard for actual social goals. If true, one wonders why, in country after country, these Reds side with the poor and powerless often at great risk and sacrifice to themselves, rather than reaping the rewards that come with serving the well-placed.

For decades, many left-leaning writers and speakers in the United States have felt obliged to establish their credibility by indulging in anticommunist and anti-Soviet genuflection, seemingly unable to give a talk or write an article or book review on whatever political subject without injecting some anti-Red sideswipe. The intent was, and still is, to distance themselves from the Marxist-Leninist Left.

…

Even when attacking the Right, left critics cannot pass up an opportunity to flash their anticommunist credentials. … Red-baiting leftists contributed their share to the climate of hostility that has given U.S. leaders such a free hand in waging hot and cold wars against communist countries and which even today makes a progressive or even liberal agenda difficult to promote

Michael Parenti in Blackshirts and reds writing about the anti-soviet orthodoxy in the west that can be applied to the anti-sino orthodoxy just as well.

It’s literally the “are we the baddies skull”, it could not be more on the nose . Afaik the guy never even said that he didn’t know it was the SS Totenkopf, that was just cope the libs made up iirc.

I forgot about his defense of the SS “bolts” https://hexbear.net/post/6500448 lol just scroll through https://hexbear.net/search?q=platner&type=All&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll&titleOnly=true beyond me how anyone can still defend this guy when he is trying to just gloss over his nazi past with some catchphrases

Dudes even got endorsed by Chuck “My job is to keep the left pro-Israel[sic]” Schumer https://hexbear.net/post/8671101 come on now

From the Junius Pamphlet itself

And what did we in Germany experience when the great historical test came? The most precipitous fall, the most violent collapse. Nowhere has the organization of the proletariat been yoked so completely to the service of imperialism. Nowhere is the state of siege borne so docilely. Nowhere is the press so hobbled, public opinion so stifled, the economic and political class struggle of the working class so totally surrendered as in Germany.

Capturing leftist movements

Sure and bernie is also not a zionist anymore bc after two years he called it a genocide I guess…

yankee’s are so gullible I swear, anything in order to be able to vote (D). Has he said anything about his role in abu ghraib? The makeshift mortar he made bc the shelling got forbidden by the army bc it resulted in too many civilian casualties? Any of this?

Nice ableism like good god couldn’t settle for one offensive caricature?

Guix comes with shepherd btw

Shepherd!

Don’t let the fedditors see this call for white genocide
