Haha, who could have thought that a tankie would be fine with US authoritarians? )))
How the fuck is chomky a tankie. Based on this evidence he’s clearly a lot of things, but calling him a tankie is ridiculous
tankie once more clearly just getting used as a pejorative for anyone an anti-communist social democrat dislikes
Don’t take shitposts so seriously!
A tankie is a supporter of authoritarian state capitalism and the genocidal imperialist policies of such regime that follow such a model. Nothing more, nothing less. )

‘i have a ‘very negative’ view of the oligarchs running the dictatorship of capital, but tankies are subhuman roaches’
kay you were clearly just shitposting
The “leftists” of .world and .db0 have fully embraced mask off Nazism so long as it lets them punch left
Yeah I’ve noticed that on db0 they think they’re being “normal” but it’s the fasc they have been surrounded with since birth, but on world they’re liberals who would rather knowingly vote fasc than lose a single penny of profit
The admins of db0 have endorsed the stance that every Soviet soldier deserved to die for not surrendering to the Nazis
So Nordic model leftists are tankies. Ukraine supporters are tankies. Nelson Mandela was a tankie.
Edit: oh, turns out they are an outright Nazi

Are Nordic model leftists supporters of Authoritarianism? That’s the key part.
Yes. Absolutely. By definition. By any leftist definition, the Nordic states are undeniably authoritarian. They are literally capitalist! The fact that you are even asking this is absurd.
Do they think a dictatorship is a good idea?
Yes, they think the dictatorship of capitalist class is a good idea. Again, this is undeniable by any leftist definition.
Or do they excuse or deny a genocide because the people doing it are opposed to the US?
Given that nobody does this, apparently there’s no such thing as a tankie. Or are you just trying to slip in a blatant strawman?
Chompsky has done both
You listed three things, you illiterate dipshit.
Pol Pot
opposed to the US
You absolute fucking dumbass.

Imagine thinking “how can you possibly think capitalism is authoritarian! That’s absurd! You clearly no nothing” was going to be a compelling argument to anti-capitalists.
Seriously, another prime example that “tankie” is just a pejorative for anyone left of Elizabeth Warren
Lol shut the fuck up liberal, this clown is yours

Yup, the arrogantly wrong, perpetually rude Reddit smuglords need to be coddled. Maybe if the .ml admins are just a little bit more submissive to their users .world will finally stop trying to drive them off the site!
i know i shouldn’t expect much from the users of a right wing circlejerk instance, but come on: are y’all seriously calling fucking chomsky a tankie now?
I am not right wing. Believe it or not it’s possible to be left leaning and not spew gibberish like “NATO made putin invade”, “NK is a vanguard against imperialism” and “everything I don’t like is a GIA psyop”.
More so if for example you speak fluent russian, you’ve lived there for multiple years and you’ve studied the history of russian imperialism (be it in the form of the USSR or its current form).
I wouldn’t say Chomsky is a tankie, but his involvement with US oligarchs and authoritarians does make one wonder…
FYI, I consider tankies to be supporters of authoritarian state capitalism and the genocidal imperialist policies of such models.
Liberals are right wing, you are a liberal
RIP Overton Window, we hardly knew ye
no u
Lol try harder

Liberals in other countries are still pro-capitalist, you may now commence to shutting the fuck up
“In American, liberal means left wing!”
No, that’s a Nazi lie that’s been brainwashed in for 25 years by Fox News and the GOP.
“We’re bringing the red scare back, boys, until we can kick out everyone left of us!”
Liberals are right wingers. Full stop, end of story. They are center-right, they can be progressive on social issues, but they will always sell you up the river on anything economic. For example: gestures broadly at everything Jeffries and Schumer have done since Trump was elected
So you’re actually extremely right wing
You keep using this word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Chomsky is in the “vote blue no matter who” camp though?
I’m saving this post to show to anyone who tries to claim “tankie” is anything other than a meaningless snarl word for punching left

Noted authoritarian, Norm Chomsky.
You’re an idiot.

Admins are coddling anti-communists
Not a defense of Chomsky because fuck him, but he claimed he was an anarcho-syndicalist, i.e. not a tankie. Not everyone who sucks is a tankie.
I agree that he is technically not a tankie, I guess campist would be a more accurate term. But considering these recent revelations, one would does wonder…
Were there any “tankies” on Epstein’s plane?
I don’t know. Is Chomsky a tankie?
Can someone who is anti-Soviet and anti-China be considered a tankie?
Of course; anything to the left of Elizabeth Warren is tankie
Can someone who justifies russian imperialism and promotes russian propaganda copytext be considered a tankie? :)
In all seriousness, Chomsky is not tankie.
That being said, what’s with the association with US oligarchs involved with abuse of minors and happy photos with US authoritarians?
Those that support Russia aren’t actually left wing they are just claiming to be. So I guess it depends on the definition of tankie.

Chomsky is anti-Russia too, what are you talking about?
That being said, what’s with the association with US oligarchs involved with abuse of minors and happy photos with US authoritarians?
Answer my question first: were there any “tankies” on Epstein’s plane? Chomsky isn’t one, so name one.
Of course. as long as you use the liberal the definition of tankie which is ‘everyone who disagrees with US foreign policy’
Real answer: I guess Tito? lol
Chomsky is in the epstien emails repeatedly too
Gonna sound like 20-20 hindsight, but I never found Chomsky to be particularly insightful or interesting in the first place. Same with people like Malcolm Gladwell and Naomi Klein. They’re just “meh”. Yeah, they say some things I agree with…but that’s low hanging fruit. They’re always wrong and no more valuable to me than random people I know or meet.
I think Chomsky has some very valid points and have learned a lot from him. However most of Chomsky’s criticism ironically applies to Chomsky himself. Chomsky tries to limit the left to voting Democrat over and over again instead of pursuing other means of achieving change.
Naomi Klein is good, no idea why youre lumping Gladwell, another Epstein intellectual, in with her. She’s not a revolutionary, but she has good insights.
I might have at one time lumped Chomsky and Klein together but these days he’s more of a Gladwell
They boned, fyi.
There’s a reason chomsky has been allowed to be the “imminent thought leader of the left” for the past 60 years. He has not advocated for anything beyond voting democrat.
Just because he wrote one truth about the media ecosystem doesnt somehow absolve him from that same truth about the media ecosystem.
He would not consistently be featured in the new york times et al if he was actually a threat to their existence.
eminent
Nah, the left is going to get a real thought leader any day now
