If I didn't know this was chapotraphouse I would consider it an excellent shitpost.

None of them are communists, they're Tankies, tankies = authoritarians
-
Hexbear, along with .ml and grad, are Tankie instances. Known as the Tankie Triad (well soon to be Tankie Dyad anyways lol)
-
Hex, .ml and grad are part of the Tankie Triad. Tankies are authoritarians and often hard to tell apart from far right nutjobs
-
I think saying Tankies aren't Communists is a bit like saying Sword Art Online isn't an anime.
Just because they suck doesn't remove them from the category. In fact acknowledging the sucky parts of a <thing> is part of being grown up about that thing.
-
Or are their being taken over by lemmygrad, to be introduced to Socialism with Dessaline characteristics?
What‽ LMAO grad, .ml are Tankie instances just the same and Dess is a huge Tankie lolol
-
Lemmygrad and tankies in general have military discipline while hexbear is a vibes-based mob. Authoritarians vs. virtue signallers, one taking over the other would mean popcorn for years.

Well they're more like Authoritarian "Communists", the theory of communism doesn't require human rights violations and restrictions of freedoms.
But the only examples of communism in practice, and the only ones they praise and defend fervently, are places with authoritarian regimes like China.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie
Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof. More specifically, the term has been applied to those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics, whether contemporary or historical. It is commonly used by anti-authoritarian leftists, including anarchists, libertarian socialists, left communists, democratic socialists, and reformists to criticise Leninism, although the term has seen increasing use by liberal and right‐wing factions as well.

Whats wrong with SAO

the theory of communism doesn’t require human rights violations and restrictions of freedoms
Communism is a political ideology predicated on murdering a group of political enemies in the name of a pseudoscientific economic theory which is given the same reverence that Catholics do to church dogma. Communism is, and always has been, a cult.

They're not "far-left" they're authoritarian "communists" and by "difference of political perspectives" you mean denial of human rights abuses and suppression of freedom by authoritarian regimes (even denying they are authoritarian regimes) like China or even that Russia was totally justified attacking a country unprovoked.

Yeah I can see that, that would also explain how .ml can maintain... subtlety...to avoid a larger call for defederation from them.
However, saying "to be introduced to Socialism with Dessaline characteristics?" Is rather disingenuous, Tankies with restraint and discipline are still Tankies
-
Without saying who downvoted you (I can see who did because I'm an instance admin), I'm pretty sure that person is gunning for "person who downvotes the most on the fediverse". They have a lot of hate in their soul.
-
Socialism with Dessaline characteristics is, to the best of my knowledge, the ideology of lemmygrad. You know, abolish slavery and then run plantations with forced labour is a very tankie thing to do. I'm sure both Dessalines, the emperor and the lemmy dev one, can explain to you how those two are completely different things.
-
They followed me around and down voted everything I posted for a while (memes, conversational comments, everything). Oh and they also threatened to kill me. Fuck hexbear and all its users.
-
Wow, what a character to base your username off of and presumably looks up to?....
In any case, Tankies hate socialism, they see it as nothing but trying to "make capitalism work with regulation" and they strive for abolishment of capitalism entirely.
Which, I'm not against, but they want to abolish and then replace it with an authoritarianism-based regime instead that looks something like what China has, which is just replacing a bad thing with something as equally as bad or worse.
-
Nah. Socialists can charge for services.
It was defeated by an admin being so done with their shit he couldn't be bothered lol

You are confusing “socialism” with “capitalism with social safety nets.”
Socialism is the abolition of private ownership of the means of production, and private ownership of the means of production is what capitalism is. All versions of socialism are anti-capitalist, including communism.
You don’t even have a Wikipedia-level understanding of capitalism, socialism, or communism. Have you even read the first few paragraphs of the Wiki entries for the concepts you pretend to be knowledgeable of?
