@Guitarman123 Well Lolberts think that hierarchy is good and if we get rid of the government, we'd no longer be held back with regulations that reduce hierarchy. They don't want to abolish hierarchy, just the state. But if this actually happened, we'd still have laws, they'd just be dictated by the most powerful tribe in each region. Basically, back to feudal society where the local king had all the power. Instead of one federal government that we all control through democracy, plus local democratic governments, we'd have a ton of local governments with no democracy.
Red fascism is a made up term used mostly by the right to make false equivalences.
Nope. The term was popularized by the anti-stalinist Left, mainly by Luigi Fabbri.
And we already established tankie is just your word for everyone who doesn't parrot your own beliefs.
You're doing exactly what the Fascists do. When I call someone out on their Fascism, they claim that I say anyone I disagree with is a Fascist. I'm convinced anyone who can't defend their dogshit takes just resorts to this.
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Well, to be specific, you're a Tankie, not a Fascist. But you're close enough since you're authoritarian and you'll defend reactionary politics if it comes from a tankie dictator.
@BohemianBabe Again, we have established that is a totally meaningless slur you throw around. And cute that you are now trying to walk back your own bullshit that "tankies" and fascists are the same thing.
Interesting all these "leftists" you name drop spent all of the 30s and 40s not going after people like Hitler but criticizing those actually doing the heavy lifting against fascism.

They're pretty much the same. Tankies are less horrible in that they're usually not reactionary. But like I said, they'll defend reactionary politics if it comes from a dictator they like. Tankies are always trying to defend Stalin putting gay people in the gulags. Today, they're running defense for Putin, who also has anti-gay policies.
nteresting all these "leftists" you name drop spent all of the 30s and 40s not going after people like Hitler but criticizing those actually doing the heavy lifting against fascism.
That's beside the point. The point is terms like "Tankie" and "Red Fascism" were coined by actual Leftists who realized that you can't be both left-wing and authoritarian.
@BohemianBabe You were the one to bring up Stalin and pretend like people who are sympathetic to the good parts of the Soviet Union are all glorifying him.
@Gloomy Not what I said. You can find good parts of any country. I'm saying that Tankies will defend countries like the Soviet Union on points that are obviously wrong, like how they deny Stalin being a homophobic dictator, just because they used left-wing imagery.
