    Nah, it’s not really a communist issue. It’s tankie, the one that faithful to that few authoritarian country like a little lap dog they are, regardless of nuance. They only see one side having issue but refuse to see why socialism didn’t work all the time. It’s always capitalism bad socialism good, never a balance of both.

      What’s a “tankie,” in your eyes, and how are they meaningfully distinct from Communists? Marxists defend AES, can acknowledge the failures and struggles of AES while praising the myriad successes as well, it’s liberals that always refuse to have a nuanced take on AES.

      Secondly, there is no such thing as a “balance of both” Capitalism and Socialism. Either the Proletariat is in charge or the Bourgeoisie are in charge, and as such there will never be a balance.

          Gotcha, so the anti-Deng ultraleft Maoists who denounce the modern PRC are the “tankies.” You’ll be happy to know that they are a fringe view among modern Marxists, especially fringe on Lemmy.

          Also, ban evasion, misogyny, and homophobia all in one comment? Is that a bingo?

        Not every communist throats the cocks of dictators like putin, Stalin, Mao, and the kims, so that’s one meaningful distinction.

          Haven’t seen anyone doing that, plus that’s a homophobic and misogynistic framing of that statement anyways.

        Ohh, fine then. From your opinion i concluded all communist is just a bunch of extremist like you i guess, because no nuance allowed. It’s all black and white.
