When everybody else runs fast to the far-right, but you don’t move, they will claim you are now radical left. The current public discourse in a nutshell.
Except when you get to that level of far left where you start unironically repeating far right talking points.
Horseshoe theory - not even once.
Spend five minutes on .ml and you’ll see that it’s a theory just like the theory of gravity.
Far left doesn’t equal current day Russia / China
Tankies are authoritarian lefties, which taste a lot like any other flavor boot in your mouth IMO
They are in no way “more left”, they’re just less liberal/anarchist. Because they’re authoritarians, you see
I dislike tankies as much as the next person. But calling them “far right” is beyond politically illterate.
If you re-read my comment you’ll see that I did not call them far-right I said they repeat far-right talking points which is demonstrably true.
