One of many reasons why I'm an anarcho-communist and not authoritarian communist.
Edit: no, it's anarcho-communism is not an oxymoron; it's about everyone communally working together and owning their resources without any sort of political hierarchy. You don't need money, states, borders, or dictators to publicly own goods.
Isn't anarcho-communist an oxymoron?
No, not at all. Communism is about publicly owned resources, not necessarily rulers. Communities could work together and have equal opportunities for housing, food, etc.
I thought anarchy wasn't against just rulers, but government and central authority as well?
Genuinely curious, these things seem at odds to me - although a govt without rulers also seems odd, so idk.
There is no central authority or government. Like I said, you don't need authorities to build houses. If everyone can work together and craft proper resources for their communities, then everyone has equal opportunities to having goods and services.
Anarchism is about mutual aid at an equal level. Every politician counts as a ruler to some degree and we need none of those.
You literally saw them go after Iran and you still hate commies more than Russia.
“Compromise” stance is just a mask to look less bloodthirsty to outsiders. Tankies get even worse when dropping that mask.
Remember Operation Spiderweb? Russia retaliated by yet another attack on residential buildings and top comments for these news in .ml were “yeah, that’s what they get for their terroristic attacks on Russia”.
Anyone who thinks modern day russia has anything to do with socialism is a dipshit. But the majority of tankies online aren’t even in that camp. Most of them just don’t like the west. That’s all. There is no great philosophy behind their inhumanity. They hate the west and by that they love russia and china.
Driven by hate it’s not wonder they read so similar to Nazis.
Oh and they LOOOOOOOOOOOVE whataboutism.
They've correctly realized that the US is the greatest force for evil in the world today, then incorrectly extrapolated that to mean that anyone who opposes the US must be good. Bad people often hate each other. Hitler, who killed between 11 and 17 million civilians depending on your definition, abhorred Churchill, who killed a couple million civilians in the Bengal famine.
They're the equivalent of MAGA.
MAGA hates democrats, leftists, liberals, and minorities and that drives their every thought and action. Trump can do no wrong even as modern day Hitler.
Tankies hate the west and that drives their every thought and action. Russia and China can do no wrong because they're against the west.
Both are authoritarian and wish to imprison or even execute their enemies (literally threatening to eliminate an entire civilization while funding the genocide of another), eliminate speech they disagree with (NSPM-7), spread blatant propaganda constantly in an attempt to instill bias (similar to how Detroit just voted for Stevens after a deluge of Israel money funding attack ad after attack ad on every media source), and create indoctrination camps like the brown and red shirts to instill their preferred values in the upcoming generations (dismantling higher education, attempting to start their own "non-woke" universities).
Authoritarianism is the problem. We should be uncompromising in protecting all peoples. Whoever seeks to crush others is the enemy. The only thing intolerable are those who's ideologies are rooted in intolerance. Socialism is anodyne to authoritarianism as it seeks to unite all peoples and distribute power amongst all members of society. The exact opposite of authoritarianism seeking to consolidate power in the few.
The only real compromise is to free the Russians from their oppressive regime and bring everyone supporting it to justice.
Tankies only ask for comprise when they are fully mask on. Mask off they want Ukraine to crumble and crawl back under the Russian boot.
Let him have the Sudetenland, he will stop after it, it was his territory 100 years ago anyway...
Fine. We'll kill all the Ukrainians but then use ancient Slavic witchcraft to bring them all back as zombies. Everyone's happy!
