Anyone crying about nato and specifically citing the ukrainian azov battalion. Is almost certainly a Russian Z Nazi or supporter of them. It’s an easy way to identify them since it’s an oddly specific combonation of groups to hate.
And for the record. Azov never would have existed if russia didn’t start a war against Ukraine in 2014… eat me

OK. But nobody invoking them now is all that concerned with that.
Personally I got a kick out of Gravel Institute posting a video about Nazis in the Ukraine military talking about Azov shortly before Russia attacked in 2022, and then pulling it down shortly afterward because more or less their exact point was now considered to be Russian far right propaganda. Just such a beautiful example of how things like that can change.
. Is almost certainly a Russian Z Nazi or supporter of them.
Despite any conservative ethnic tribalism, Russia is the most anti-nazi country in history of the world, and naziism is first and foremost an anti communist ideology, which through Stalin Derangement Syndrome, morphs into an anti-Russia ideology.
Demonic pig fucker support for Ukraine’s US/nazi 2014 coup and nazi battalion ethnic cleansing of Donbas, or Odessa massacre, over the ethnic Russian minority’s desire for autonomy from nazi apartheid ethno state, and Russia’s peaceful diplomatic patience in resolving Ukraine’s evil with a nazi supporting west who just used the opportunity to arm the nazi filth, is by far the most demonic distortion of nazi evil support in media/progressive idiot history.
Azov never would have existed if russia didn’t start a war against Ukraine in 201
Ukraine’s proud nazi history dates to ww2. Saying such abominations out loud, with upvotes no less, is a sure sign of collapse, and imminent nuclear cleansing.
Reads like a wall writing in a lunatic asylum.
I’ve always said extreme ideologization is equivalent to a psychotic disorder. It’d be quite fascinating to study if not for the extreme danger it entails for all of us. Vatniks included.
Are you referring to lunatic nazi disinformation I corrected? Or was there something you didn’t understand about the correction of such blatant evil?
I’m referring to you and your need to get some help. Sooner rather than later. Political ideologization is as much a product of individual psychology as it is a product of surroundings.
Blatant nazi propaganda/disinformation should be addressed. It is triggering to see such disgusting filth openly posted, and updooted. By far, it is the nazi crowdthink that needs your advice more than me.
Your username suits you. Suits the world, I guess.
You’re telling people they need to be cleansed.
Take your meds, man.
No country on earth resembles nazi Germany more than the russian federation. They are objectively a fascist. Racist. Imperialist warmongering mob state.
The fact that you take the fascists at their word when they simply claim they’re against nazis… while displaying direct comparison Everything they say and do. Just proves you sympathize with them and aren’t worth talking to about this topic
Pro tip. Russia considers “nazis” to be anything that opposes Russia. End of story
Complete derangement. Russia needs to defend itself from evil that supports nazis, or just wants to diminish Russia, even if you deny the literal nazi rulership of Ukraine. The projection of empire and your other epithets on Russia has no place in reality/this world, regardless of their aspirations for a sphere of influence.
Imagine you believe Stalin and Winnie are left
I dont have to. I was 12 at one point too.

Ask them how the Uyghurs in China are doing.
Their answer from my last interaction:
-western propaganda
-uyghurs themselves love it
-not forced labour but a vocational school the government put these people under
-amnesty and UN is lying and unreliable
-only reliable source is the blogpost they linked
-it’s all anti terrorism effort
-western propaganda
The more consistent take I see simply poses the ugyur genocide falls under a similar definition that includes ongoing genocide of black americans, which tends to meet a lot of resistance.
But much more than that: what I see is issue being taken (usually at the media), with comparing Xinjiang to something like Gaza, while often also denying Israel is committing a genocide.
Don’t worry bro, China is only treating them as bad as the US treats black people.
It’s such odd double speak. Is China treating them terribly or are you saying that Black Americans are doing just fine?
Or the genocide of indigenous peoples in North America, which alsi receives “resistance”, of a somewhat apopleptic fashion.
The Uyghur part I read was they deserve it because it is mostly criminals.
That just happens when you criminalize being a minority.
Specific criminals were arrested. A lot of investment from CCP in education and job creation. Genocide is a political declaration devoid of factual bases.
Specific criminals were arrested. A lot of investment from Israeli government in education and job creation. Genocide is a political declaration devoid of factual bases.
Same story, different genocide.
Oh wait. There is a difference. Hardly anyone denies genocide in Gaza despite tankies drumming out libtards deny it meme like there is no tomorrow.
Western propaganda media bends itself backwards reporting the genocide as no Israeli fault/nothing much is going on but it is baaaad. Protests in the streets, actual people are outraged.
People UNDERSTAND they are being lied to.
Yet CCP shits out one propaganda piece on Uyghur and tankies will do mental Olimpics to forgo ANY and ALL evidence to the contrary.
Because anti-western. Therefore no genocide.
Hardly anyone on Lemmy maybe. The general public has plenty of apologists.
Xinxiang handled completely different than Gaza, and in fact could be the most historically humanitarian response/resolution to terrorism/terrorists.
#DISGUSTING
Don’t tell me facts
Grains of truth in each point.
Which is a give away sign of anti-western propaganda. China, russia and the likes.
NOOOOOOO THATS FAKE NEWS THERE HAVE NEVER BEEN CONFIRMED REPORTS OF ANYTHING SOMETHING SOMETHING THEY’RE ALL HAPPY AND THE ONES WHO DIED ALL DESERVED IT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Ummm actually if you look at this CCP-approved news source, they say it’s logistically impossible to commit a genocide against that many people without anyone noticing soooo
Their answer is always “something-something western propaganda have you ever seen the camps first-hand you’re swallowing propaganda they’re not real CCP is going to solve global warming with fusion energy”
I got banned from some community or other for laughing at that last part. Not a joke, apparently.
have you ever seen the camps first-hand
Right wingers say the same about the Holocaust camps…
🤨
Please dont get me wrong here, I’m not defending the CCPs treatment of the Ulghurs, at all, and it does fit the broad definition of genocide, but it is not the same as the Holocaust death camps.
The camps in China are much more akin to the “Indian schools” that the US sent native Americans to in an attempt to get them to forget their culture and “civilize” them. Also, maybe a bit of the Japanese interment camp experience from the US in WWII.
It’s still disgusting and needs to be called out, don’t get me wrong, but its not quite the same as literal death camps, or the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
I know.
The point I’m trying to make is that the idea of “If you didn’t see it with your eyes, in person, then its fake” is not really a good argument that the tankies frequently use, since thats the same argument used by the far-right.
You most definitely have not seen camps first hand. Some agitator made videos of buildings, and training centers where people’s right answer to tests was equivalent to US pledge of allegiance. Some women who’ve had 6 children already were sterilized. Uyghurs have always been exempt from one child policy.
Complete disgrace to consider China’s actions as genocide when so much worse in the world is not.
You most definitely have not seen the camps firsthand.
lol see? Just as I said
Very prosperous region with a lot of job creation.
Yeah Stalin! Man of the people!
Behind the bastards had a series on him and he was really just a murderous whiney frat bro
If I was a “leftist” mod of an already very left community and a meme I share with that community is about to reach -70 karma I would abandon my account, request asylum on another instance and call myself the digital Viktor Yanukovych lmao
Is that supposed AOC? Lmfao, I’m pretty sure AOC is anti-israel.
Also, why do they always put the younger portrait of Xi, rather than the most recent one, like most western leaders do? Like just find the Baidu BaiKe (Baidu Wiki) for Xi, and compare it to the Xi on Wikipedia…
Don’t want to be reminded of your impending death due to old age, Xi? 🤔
(Like bro, just use a more recent portrait, the younger you looks like an inexperienced idiot)
She’s critical enough of Israel to piss off your average zionist, but also don’t want to “decolonize” it, which in many tankies’ heads equals with the strawman the far-right has about decolonization.
AOC is extremely pro Israel. She still refuses to say Israel is committing genocide.
IMHO the younger one looks like “average guy, not an elite”, which is what I think he’s going for.
Same as on reddit.
I lived happily oblivious of the existence of tankies until I randomly said I was voting for a democratic politician in r/latestagecapitalism.
Yeah, the fact that they’re all so anti-voting and/or “both sides”-y is why I think the root of most of the tankies’ thinking is Chinese propaganda. Like, just because you vote for someone doesn’t mean you are 100% aligned with everything they say. Or even 50% of it. Just means you’re more aligned with them than the other option. The only people who could possibly benefit from such a stupid mode of thought are part of authoritarian governments.
Yep. I nearly disagree as much with a democrat as a republican.
But pragmatically, I prefer that trans people and disabled people aren’t literally eradicated, and whether 1% or 50% of the population turn out, the election still stands so I’ll be voting.
That doesn’t mean I don’t do other things in a more revolutionary spirit, but I think it’s dumb not to vote.
But pragmatically, I prefer that trans people and disabled people aren’t literally eradicated
OH, so you think that trans and disabled folk should be SPECIAL and EXCLUDED from genocide while other people are being genocided elsewhere??? Typical shitlib
/s
I wouldn’t even say it’s propaganda. It’s bad-faith. They find whatever reasons they can to not participate in the hopes that the system will get worse, and this will swing a magic political pendulum to the opposite side of socialist utopia.
More like swing to “communist” authoritarian government. We can only hope that anyone who doesn’t like the new state can be reducated in reducation camps. If not they will have to be killed.
Lol on the left two genociders, one man who i actually respect(tried to fix all the shit going on in the world, even if i dont think its the right solution, he at least tried) and one guy who i dont even know. And on the right which is aimed at people like me. Im not a democrat and i think theyre shit(tho im european and would probably vote for them because you dont even have a choice in murica), im sceptic of the new syrian leadership(but hopeful), fuck israel and nato is just free military for us but i think we should invest more into it because the us is a horrible ally as we can see in ukraine. Idk bout the rest. So yeah complete bullshit from tankies as usual.
Yep. I blocked it. Had my post deleted when rather politely calling out a dumbass trying to assert someone who dared to criticize the religion of leninism. By claiming that they hadn’t read enough theory. I simply stated that both Leninism and capitalism are both failed theories.
Bam deletion. Rule 3 attacking socialism. I asked them how I was attacking socialism. Pointing out that I’m left libertarian / anarchist. Very pro socialism. Which they then laughably changed to communist misinformation. Which I then pointed out that that wasn’t Rule 3. And it wasn’t misinformation.
I only petitioned the deletion though because I knew they could not be neutral or mature. And they did not fail to meet expectations. It’s a total Echo chamber.
They’ve got to stop the trolls you know.
Trolls can’t stop themselves. Otherwise they wouldn’t be trolls 😋
Idk when I say im left wing I mean this:
I feel like this isn’t a good example if it’s being heavily down voted. Wouldn’t that imply the community has an anti-tankie sentiment on the whole? what am I missing
‘Run by red fash’, the poster is also one of the two mods for the community.
It’s actually hilarious that a mod post is that deep in the negatives.
oh yep, there’s the mod icon, I’m just a dumbass thanks lol
Considering the very concept of “late stage capitalism” is the Marxist Leninist version of the end times, with the revolution being their equivalent of the rapture/the second coming, I would have been surprised if it had been any other way.
Who’s the guy at the bottom left?
Ibrahim Traoré, a coup leader who took over Burkina Faso, whose government has proposed outlawing homosexuality.
But he’s pro-Russia, therefore, Good.
Thanks.
I’m not sure what you expected from a community called “late stage capitalism”
Also I find the mustache very funny
Probably expecting discussions regarding late stage capitalism such as examples and possible countermeasures.
Instead it’s whatever that is. Clickbait.
Gasp! you mean non tankies can be against capitalism too!? /s
It’s a shit post echo chamber for fragile tankies. To hide behind “theory” while ignoring “evidence”. As they circle jerk each other.
I like it because it keeps me up to date on the latest developments of the cyberpunk hellscape we’re turning into. Tankieness doesn’t seem to come into it that much from what I’ve seen, just anti-capitalism.
Or maybe I just don’t pay attention to it, but this post is in negatives so despite your weird framing it certainly doesn’t seem like the community agrees.

Don’t worry, dissenters in the comments were promptly banned by the OP, who runs the comm.
That’s great and all but Eldritch accused it of being a tankie echo chamber when they’re getting mass downvoted
They can’t currently block down votes of random people who don’t comment. Up votes and down votes don’t ultimately make an echo chamber. The actions of the moderation do. And they are deleting all dissent of a very specific type. In order to craft their Echo chamber. It’s literally worse than the conservative community on .world.
We’ve butted heads regularly. And I know you identify a bit with them. Which is why you feel this misguided need to defend them. But respectfully how is that not an echo chamber?
Whatever OP wants the community to be, it is clear that it is not. He shared a clownish opinion and it got rightly blasted instead of everyone circle jerking about how smart believing the nonsense made them.
Obviously such behavior only happens in “tankie” communities. You’d never get someone claiming, for example, that all the dissent being voiced is proof that it’s an isolated community with no dissenting voices.
I’ll accuse it, too. Because it is.
I literally criticized capitalism. What they had a problem with is that I criticized Leninism as well. They don’t care about socialism. They only care about ML. And no critique is allowed. No matter it’s validity. It’s definitionally an echo chamber.
What would you call those who don’t recognize the flaws of Leninism. The whole reason it never matched even the man’s own ideological vision. And forcefully defend it right or wrong against any critique. Against their own potential allies. Other socialists like myself. The way the namesake tankies forcefully slaughtered and suppressed all who criticized and pushed back. Against the undemocratic party. What would a better descriptor be…
You can be anti capitalist and think Stalin and co are massive cunts.
(Anarchism, and most types of marxists that aren’t okay with genocide)
Are there any leaders that would be positively revered by today’s standards? I kinda like Washington, Lincoln, JFK and T. Roosevelt. Churchill, Obama, Ghandi and Carter. Alexander the great?
They’ve all got their own problems but maybe not irredeemable shitheels
I mean I’m an Anarchist so I tend to not like the concept of “leaders”.
But I respect a couple Green Party british MPs and Marine Tondelier. Also have a generally good view of Sanders and gang, although not without disagreements.
I’m more skeptical of revering past figures though because history is often written by those in power, so they often end up polishing up a lot of these figures. I would respect FDR is he didn’t do Japanese apartheid and let the eugenics movement perform mass sterilisations of disabled people (and segregation and all the fucked up shit happening back then; not that today everything is rosey)
Churchill
I’m generally lenient towards historical figures who were born under a time of different moral standards, but Churchill was a piece of shit by the standards of his own time, and only gets a ‘pass’ because he was important in fighting a worse foe - the fucking Nazis.
