Fellas, is it fascist to want to live without being bombed, mass raped, tortured, murdered and dumped into a mass grave, after your ancestors survived a man-made famine that killed millions.

They can call you red fash, tankies, commies, and chant their slogans all they want
But its not them who kicked out 15 different nations from Russia.
Its not them who marched into Berlin and ended the Holocaust.
Its not them who liberated Cuba, Vietnam, Angola, and half of the world.
Its not them who united a war torn semi-colonized country and turned it into an industrial global powerhouse.
Its not them trekking into the highest mountains, deepest valleys, and the hottest deserts to talk to the poorest people on the planet; to give them medicine and education and build them roads and houses.
Its not them building the biggest dams and the longest HSR lines.
Its not them who lifted 800 million people out of poverty.
Its not them who brought food security and vaccinations to a land locked country.
So keep chanting. I can't hear you over the sound of actual progress.

It's quite easy to get tankies self expose themselves when you know their pet peeves like "incorrect use" of Lenin's definition of imperialism or whether defining Holodomor as a genocide is "technically" correct. Bc they just prove how distorted their priorities are. When you argue something isn't "technically" a genocide, imperialism etc even when millions of people died and suffered, you just show that you don't have a moral compass and you think being "right" by your ideological standards is more important, in addition to downright denying it never happened, wasn't that bad etc. And when you do expose your way of thinking, there's a chance someone following you will actually notice 'shit I'm actually following a fash in leftist clothes'.

Honestly I prefer twitter cause there are Albanians, Bosniaks, Ukrainians etc. there who actually give you a sense of normality away from genocide denying tankies (hidden fashs).
Let me know if you're Bosniak, Albanian, Ukrainian or Uyghur. Could use to follow some.

something about the last instance of minisoc’s idiocy was bothering me and i couldn’t pinpoint the reason why until it hit me over just how stupid he was: as a tankie his entire shtick is slobbering over putinist/ccp boots and constantly word vomiting AmERiCa BAd since tankie politics is nothing more than red fash contrarianism dressed up in a poorly made leftie disguise. AmERiCa BAd is a mantra for them at this point and supposedly means they prioritise non-american voices over american ones.
…until someone who’s actually from eastern Europe tells them to piss off and minisoc immediately whips out “I’m ‘murican, try me” and not only does that sound absolutely pathetic, but it’s such a jawdropping unintentional admission. Like you can’t get anything more pointed than this: tankie keyboard warrior spends his days defending russcist imperialism from behind the safety and comfort of his monitor until an actual Eastern European rightfully tells him to fuck off and dude instantly invokes his ‘murican card as a reply!!

Gotta love that libshit using a fucking Stonetoss comic as a gotcha
You know, the actual fucking nazi with a shitty artstyle
Surely nothing wacky going on there
For real lmaoo, like their evidence for backing up the claim of "Tankies" = Fash is a comic from a nazi that they just had saved in their phone for some odd reason? hmm
it does inspire one to wonder why they just had that primed and ready.
But again the main problem is the intellectual dishonesty there, throwing literal nazi comics as an example of "tankies" acting fashy is just super dishonest. They could've even at bare minimum used a collage of actual MLs saying dumb cringe shit but nahhh gotta lie and pull shit out of their ass I guess lmao

i've noticed a trend among liberals when talking about china or russia
"you tankies are only defending this country because they oppose the united states!"
this is just the ultranationalist hyperconservative seige mentality of "this country is an active threat to my country," but instead of being followed by "and my country is great," it's "and my country sucks."
and i picked my words carefully. this is specifically a right wing sentiment, be it the conservative far right or the liberal center right. russia, the supposed anti-america country, has a very similar government and foreign policy to ours. putin said that he was denazifying ukraine. he also gave a bunch of other reasons, such as combatting nato expansion, getting rid of communism, it's not my place to comment on his intentions. to be clear i don't support the putin administration. oligarchy is bad. and if any of you fuckers come in here and try to tell me what i actually think about russia, i will reach through this hellsite and slap you with your own keyboard.
anyway, russia is right wing, and nato is right wing. part of right wing politics is expansionism. colonialism. annexation. irredentism. imperialism. let's contrast this with the five left wing, marxist-leninist states. the chinese government has a strict non intervention policy. they've built a network of allies and trading partners. china's very keen on not escalating existing conflicts. their neighbor, north korea, is a very nationalist country. but unlike far right nationalism, north korea's nationalism is anti-colonial in nature. it's in the name of their communist party's ideology; juche, self-reliance. their main priority is the right to self-determination. vietnam and laos are member states of ASEAN, and both of their communist parties were formed by anti-colonial nationalists. cuba is trying to achieve self-determination and international cooperation, but both of those are hard to do when the united states is sanctioning you. and let me make this clear for the people who don't understand the sanction. the us government isn't just preventing trade between cuba and the us, they're preventing trade between cuba and EVERYONE. the united states' official stance is that you're either against cuba, or you're against the united states. and that brings me to my next point.
the united states is working double overtime to make you think that the two main goals of far left governments; self-determination and international cooperation, are lies. china doesn't want peace, they want war. north korea doesn't want independence, they want the death of america. you must fight them, for your own sake. it's the same story told by every single fucking fascist. they're playing on your most basic instincts of self-preservation and tribalism, and you bought it hook, line and sinker. tacking on "america is bad, but" to the front of it changes nothing. you already purchased the product and paid them with your trust, so they don't care if you modify it.
again, i have nothing to say for the russian government, because it's a plutocratic oligarchy, just like the united states. do they wanna destroy the united states? i don't fucking know. i doubt it, because i've learned to be skeptical whenever i'm told that a certain country is full of anti-american terrorists. but the "red fash" countries you all love to hate are DEFINITELY not coming for your flag or cheeseburgers. that goes against their interests as marxist-leninist countries.
mark my fucking words, i want nothing more than for this christofascist dictatorship made up of 50 smaller dictatorships to fall apart and be succeeded by a reunified virginia and somewhere between 13 and 50 way cooler republics. including cascadia. but we're not gonna get that from china or north korea. quite frankly, we SHOULDN'T get that from them. you think things were better when the states and the soviets were trying to destroy each other? you think things got more peaceful after the dissolution of the ussr? war begets war. imperialism begets imperialism. no, i don't "worship" every anti-american country, because that would imply i expect those countries to save us. i'm putting my faith in the working people within these borders, just like the marxists did in china, korea, laos, vietnam, and cuba.
tl;dr you think north korea hates the united states that much? not everything is about us.

i end up following and blocking so many anarchists on twitter just because I lose the patience to deal with their completely uncritical acceptance of the us state dept line on foreign issues. the one i just blocked, who had been a mutual, had many good domestic politics opinions but ultimately when ur reblogging things that talk about how ‘actual socialists hate tankies’ it’s a real display that your worldview is extremely America-centric and flawed. and i just don’t have the patience to engage these people endlessly about how the world is more complex than ‘anarchism good, tankie bad, capitalism badder’. which is a failure of myself as an educator and engagement when like i don’t have that option in real life, i have to work with what i have, but online i lose my patience more easily.

also, don’t reblog this but, on the same subject: i keep seeing chinese diapora on here reblogging tankies like death2*merica and brendanicus because they sometimes provide takes against NYT/BBC/Guardian/WSJ/WaPo orientalist hysteria and i am begging you all to have some moral integrity and critical thinking skills.
because they’re often simultaneously downplaying the government’s systemic violence against women and queer communities, suppression of labour activists, union-busting, copaganda, and suppression of local reporters and whistleblowers, while also platforming genocide deniers. i promise you there are far better takes by actual (local) chinese writers and journalists providing insightful coverage, alternative viewpoints, and anti-hysteria that aren’t also red fash.
if you have any sense of empathy or decency, if you care about underprivileged groups at all, if you have any liberatory values, you’ll realise that american tankies are not on our side; they’re not on the side of the chinese people at home, or the chinese disapora in the west and they sure as shit don’t care about anti-asian violence, because in their state worship and power worship they’ve actively dismissed or downplayed the violence carried out against people in china genuinely trying to make a change.
they’re little more than fascists, and need to be treated as such. grow a goddamn brain, learn how to be in solidarity with fellow activists, learn about grassroots projects, stop fucking disgracing yourselves, for love of god.

I don't know what baby lefty needs to hear this but you actually can't work with Tankies. Tankied are consistently homophobic, LARPy, genocide deniers. Tankies are serial liars who accomplish nothing other than violence and paranoia. Tankies worship ecocidal militaristic warmongers because it makes them feel powerful. They won't help you, they only want you to fall in line so they can have a shot at reaping the luxuries of state capitalism.
I understand there are a lot of young people who think that Soviet/Stalinist aesthetics are a cool way to own the libs but if youre over the age of 22 and you're a Stalinist you're just red fash.
The evidence that the Holodomor, the Kronstadt massacre, the draining of the Aral sea, the displacement of Scandinavian and Siberian indigenous groups and a million more brutal crimes against humanity all happened is overwhelming; if someone tells you that its all CIA propaganda they're just gaslighting you because thats what Fascists do.
Fascist iconography is seductive to the powerless but it has nothing to do with liberation and it has nothing to do with any sincere attempt at communism. Do your own research and don't believe their lies.

Not me, a Ukrainian leftist, stepping around a tankie claiming that Zelensky is a fash coz he banned "left-wing" and "opposition" parties in Ukraine
Context: they actually aren't left-wing and you can literally just google to know it :/
