    Yeah, at this point the word “tankie” is used so liberaly that communists are just one type of “tankie”.

      Karl Marx said communism is stateless. Tankies are named after their support of soviet tanks to put down revolutions. That’s the opposite of stateless.

        Marx also described the State as the elements of government that entrench class distinctions like private property rights and armies, but that such a state could only wither away once all industry was publicly owned and controlled. Marx believed the workers needed to be armed and protect revolution.

        This has also been explained before, but one of the “revolutions” you defended was led by Nazis that were marking the doors of Jews and Communists, and had started lynching them.

        Lol, well I guess there are no communists then, because not even Marx himself, as nonone has achieved statelessness.

        Also, what a stupid image, it’s literally just horseshoe theory with “I’m on of the good leftists” liberal boot licking thrown in

            Ok, I think I’m comfortable resting my case that you contorting the meaning of the word ‘communist’ beyond reason.

            Catalan made their own “state” that’s not stateless. Humans need societies and structures, we aren’t tigers, we’re weak hairless monkeys.
