tankies always try to go "well if hating landlords/capitalism makes me a tankie so be-it" as a way to obfuscate the fact that most people in this thread using the term tankie do in fact hate landlords/capitalism themselves. tankies try to use this tactic in order to passive-aggressively imply that anyone who doesnt lick the boots of "actually existing socialist" state-capitalist regimes is doing a communism wrong.

Partially. But try to get in their head a little better than that. They're very often thinking in terms of means to ends, that lets be honest, gets underplayed in voluntaryism revolution discussion. It's not that there aren't books and books and books about it if you get into theory, but in too online discussions no one is talking about how to form a militia, keep it organized long enough to raid the Hamptons, and put all the landlords to the knife. It's deeply uncomfortable to talk about.

Wait, so what's the "non-tankie"-approved method of executing the landlords? Certainly don't wanna be a tankie, but letting the landlords survive would be infinitely worse.

Tankie is basically like liberal in CSPAM a kind of vague term that has been made even vaguer until it basically means everyone I don’t personally like

We should preserve individual rights by having an army that rolls up and crushes the reactionaries?

I don’t necessarily want to kill the landlords personally but I wouldn’t shed many tears if so many of them were guillotined that the rest voluntarily gave up their holdings and/or fled from society completely. Am I a tankie? It sounds like a term of endearment to be honest. Aww, who’s my little tankie? It’s you isn’t it? *pats your head*

Problem is you risk tankies going mad with power once they take over and liquidating anybody they vaguely don’t like, like rival leftist groups. See: Bolsheviks.

See: Bolsheviks. good thing tankies are largely limited to online people and their views are not representative of the left in america at large. i'm no tankie because i don't think the material conditions of the past are the same as the conditions we face now. and they're not going to win people over, either

Tankies is a useful term for unironic Maoists/Stalinists/Juchists and the worst USSR imperialism apologia, which is sometimes pretty gross As with other similar things right-wing fuckwits use it as a general term for any and all "lefties" though

lefties also use it as a general term as well or centralist I guess it can be hard to tell the difference on a drive by shitpost though I don’t think I’ve ever seen a right winger use tankie

Kanine posted:ok for real you can hate landlords, etc. and advocate the overthrow of capitalism and not be a tankie Thanks for clarifying this thing that was never a point of debate Kind of sad that dude was able to muddy the waters enough that people here seem to genuinely think that was at all what anyone was talking about. He was being disingenuous, folks! And he called himself a tankie. Awesome Animals posted:a lot of bad posting happened overnight. I'm going to continue hoping landlords get the guillotine.

Raskolnikov38 posted:THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.
