tankie punks fuck off

"everything that people say is bad about China and Russia is just imperialist CIA propaganda, here's a link from this Kremlin rag telling us how they do no wrong."

Meanwhile ultralefts, socdems, and Trots claim to support workers and peaceful revolutions yet all I see are them supporting the exact some causes as the CIA, from Syrian jihadists to HK liberals to Ukrainian nationalists. And tone policing people and engage in ridiculous identity politics other than giving a damn about workers.

We need to stop accepting tankies as being left. They are authoritarians who will use leftist rhetoric to seize power but never forget they support state capitalism and oppose workers being allowed to form their own unions, strike, vote, or have any kind of political or economic equality. It's not a leftist ideology in anything other than rhetoric used to seize power for the sake of becoming a part of the new ruling class.

LOL yet some of the most hardcore tankies contributed the most to America's working class struggles and civil rights movements throughout the last few decades. Meanwhile people like the DSA can't even run a proper conference without getting into arguments about pronounces and safe spaces. In a real revolution you'd be decimated by the far right meatheads.
