rly? From my perception it's a rare case that it's used coherently.
And as I said more often than not, just as a "someone to the left of me" or "someone I don't like"- type slur

Wish I could do that as well but I have to mod their shit TwT

That's one of the few good definitions tbh

However, most of the time liberals or so called social democrats/democratic socialists just say 'tankie' to everyone to the left of them

It's just that the CIA did sooo many fucking atrocities, that quite a few of them (most notably experiments and their silly stuff like trying to murder Castro) turned out to be failures.

And during the Cold War the CIA was some axis of evil shit. Any time some leftists came to power in the US's "backyard" (read the Americas and Caribbean. but tbh most of the world), you would either see a fascist coup or some other attempt to delegitimise them...

Guess who trained the mujahedeen in Afghanistan and the contras in Nicaragua, and gave money, resources and guidance to the fascist military in Chile? (just some historic examples)

Nowadays you still have the same shit but less. Especially in the US's "backyard". Like Bolivia a few yes ago bc they wanted to nationalise their resources (most notably lithium mines)

But a lot of the time the CIA just makes the preparatory work for US Invasion (Grenada, Iraq and Afghanistan to give some examples)

You know that... Christianity developed in the Roman Empire? The Middle East (more exactly Palestine and Syria. Which were larger that today's counterparts) wasn't some magical place where giants lived, but a province of said Empire

Don't forget the communist conventions and baseball games!

huh, TIL

thank you :)

Thank you for linking these works! I wasn't even aware of their existance myself ^^'

Tbh I don't know much about Bukharin and his works, except his general right-wing tendencies and stance on some policies

(For those not familiar with the term "right-wing communism": it does not mean right-wing in general. It doesn't even mean socially regressive, but focuses more on the economic side)

based :3

Imagine internalizing Microsoft/Apple abuse so deeply that you get angry at ppl who don't want any of that shit

I'm not putting my mental health on the line by acutally being on 4chan, there are some good memes and shitpost on there tho. So this form of filter strikes a good balance
