tankies like the taliban because they make things worse for the people under their control. tankies tell on themselves when they support these repressive fucks. they don’t actually care about liberation for everyone. they care that they appear smart and right. they attach themselves to liberatory politics to appear right. they attach themselves to vile movements that are liberatory adjacent to appear like they are playing a brave game of chess. the truth, though, is they are enabling troublesome forces that will never help the common man.

in my comment, “we” was anarchists in general because all across the globe authoritarianism is on the rise. in effect, the old world order is collapsing and various factions of fascism (because make no mistake, bolshevism is a fascism) are about to battle for who owns… us. it’s grim. anarchists may be tempted to coalition with tankies, on account of some similar economic policy, but make no mistake, they are lot good allies

Amazing, isn’t it, that every user of .ml seems to have never seen a tankie before in their life, despite the moderators of most of the big communities there being the kinds of people who will literally and outright play apologist for Soviet tanks crushing the Hungarian Revolution.

Where are the “tankies” that prefer the taliban to Afghanistan anarchists?
