Artificial walls? You're literally implying that if you're pro democracy you aren't leftist. You yourself are putting up a wall.

When we ask tankies, in lieu of a communist state, to vote as left as possible, they start foaming at the mouth how cringe lefties voting are... I mean that's a pretty fucking high wall.. How else are we, the general non-revolutionary left, ever going to fucking 'work together'.

People are incapable of fathoming that resistance AT EVERY LEVEL is necessary for a successful revolution. Voting is just as important is throwing Molotov cocktails is just as important as producing leftist propaganda is just as important as non-violent protests are just as important as protest involving private property destruction is just as important as militant opposition under oppressive regimes. Resistance at all levels is necessary because when you throw a Molotov cocktail without any of the other stuff going on, you're just allowing the media to propagandize another story about violent and insane leftists acting rashly in an out of touch manner with society. The violent and insane leftists theory is harder to propagandize when its clear that the rest of society agrees with the person throwing the Molotov cocktail. Stop worrying about what other leftists are doing, and join the resistance at whatever level your comfortable with. If you're coming on the internet to argue about what leftists policies are the best or most effective, you are missing the point and damaging the cause. This is doubly so if you've only ever read theory and have never joined an in person organization. If you'd like to argue less and do more, get off of the internet and go volunteer with a leftist organization. We don't have time to argue and in fight while capitalism is working like a popular, well oiled oppression machine.

tankies are all cosplayers, can't get over the wet dream of enacting more ur-fascist dictatorships via pretending that the French had it right when they introduced liberalism to Europe, while coincidentally forgetting that, every revolution so far as always ended with some form of ur-fascist, and reformation brought us closest to an actual socialist/communist society.
