Look at this fucking dumbass lmao
Edit:
At first I thought he was just a dumbass but now I’m thinking he’s legitimately just a Nazi 
Edit 2: The mods locked the thread and banned him lol, they got 'em.
Never thought I’d find myself quoting Marxist apologia, but read Blackshirts and Reds😪
Really confused by the existence of a person who apparently hates “Marxist apologia”, but has read Blackshirts and Reds.
Has read and recommends Blackshirts and Reds, no less. “Well, this one piece of Marxist analysis I read was thoughtful, thorough, and worth reading (despite being Marxist). But obviously the rest of it must still be terrible”
Copying and pasting my other comment:
Based on what they told me yesterday, they have started reading it, maybe a chapter or two in. Throughout my interactions with them over the last year or so, I have steadily gotten them to read Elementary Principles of Philosophy, “Tankies,” and now finally they have started Blackshirts and Reds.
Overall, they are your typical anti-communist “progressive liberal,” but in the last month or so have been pushing back against anti-Communism. This is genuinely a massive step for them IMO.

my favourite time was when I saw someone call ml and bear “republican instances”. I just had to laugh physically
The republicans in question:
They genuinely cannot conceive of people to the left of them, lol
yes
all the smug confidence of a complete, willful ignorance… that has got to be the most loyal Bill Maher fan in the world.
personified
I’m adding the whole of lemmy.ml to the block list, you guys are nearly as bad as Hexbear for being able to string together a thought.
rent free
One less nazi on lemmy ml at least
Gonna complain about being censored by the tankies in the future, certainly.
From their bio:
Well, I didn’t vote for you!
what did I do? , all I did was argue against everyone and every fact presented to me
Give it a day or two before that’s their post on the power tripping comm
Or MWoG, if they’re feeling especially fash friendly.
I thought that was just where they’d share replies not complain about bans?
Idk had that comm blocked so long
They do whatever they want there, the only binding role is a hatred for Communism and Communists. That’s why people like db0 hang out there alongside PugJesus, who also hang out with the “gamergater” mod that complains about DEI and Wokeness, while the Instance Admin
CW: Transphobia
complains about Russia and China forcing transgender ideology to radicalize US youths against the US Empire.
The smugness is off the charts.
Doing Holocaust revisionism to own the tankies
@_cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com holocaust revisionism is genocide denial AND antisemitism.
In case you are actually interested in a serious response here are the symbols used in holocaust camps. The first of these, the red triangle, designates “political” prisoners, which was applied overwhelming to communists and social democrats (meant the same thing at the time anyway).
Here is another shorter chart in English:
You are poorly educated on this topic and should sincerely read some actual books instead of getting everything you know from internet comment sections then screaming at the people who are correct because the information you’re being corrected on doesn’t fit into your deeply deeply propagandised worldview.
Oh and calling everyone that says anything you dislike a russian bot is indistinguishable behaviour from the IDF calling everyone they dislike Hamas. Deeply unserious behaviour.
communists and social democrats (meant the same thing at the time anyway)
Calling the communist victims of the Holocaust “tankies” is definitely a historically literate thing to do.
That said, I’m pretty sure tanks were necessary for liberating the concentration camps but what do I know about WWII battlefield tactics?
A tankie is just any socialist that has been successful in the fight against capitalism and colonialism, or one that supports those that have been.
