Slop.The term Tankie has a clear definition that Cowbee likes to ignore:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those > who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the > occurrence of the events thereof.

Cowbee really is the spectre of communism haunting the liberals. It's amusing just how bothered these people are, I think it's because Cowbee is so nice about it. They're just there to educate.
"Tankie", originally a Khrushchevite. Then, anyone of support or stanning of established red states. Now, anything that challenges western chauvinism in even the mildest manner
As someone who is not from the US, I've always seen 'Tankie' as liberal slang for a progressive that is a traitor to the empire. Not aligned with the idea that you can be both a progressive in america and a reactionary to the rest of the world, if not an outright nazi.
I wouldn't remember this idiot if he didn't register and use accounts on every fucking instance making it a huge pain in the ass to block him.
::: spoiler just look at this nonsense. I had to zoom out to take this screenshot of my block list :::
The only thing positive I have to say about the dev of piefed is at least they put in a default feature to filter out cm because of that exact thing
Don't you know that you're only a real communist if you oppose all communist countries and anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist forces in the world?! Communism isn't about reality or results, it's about jerking yourself off over being morally superior to others despite doing nothing to actually make the world a better place!
@Cowbee@hexbear.net if I were in your shoes I would be walking on sunshine. You've really managed a 'Loved by Your Friends, Feared By Your Foes' thing going. These weirdos are losing it over you for giving calm and we'll sourced replies consistently. These folks have really put you on a pedestal or they dug so deep it has the same effect, to mix metaphors.
So yeah, congratulations on becoming the Grendel to the lemmy libs. That would put a spring in my step.
I feel like it must be exhausting. Maybe I have less capacity for being perceived than the average but it's an tonne of emotional labour to reply the way they do.
Really funny seeing the most patient person in the lemmyverse being so villainized
I'm so much meaner and I've never seen myself on there, I swear they go after him because he's so patient.
It gets under their skin to not be able to easilt dismiss someone. Us mean people provide suppressing fire. Its a combined effort.
For real. If that's your nemesis, maybe look st yourself and those you're with
Yeah, a lot of these guys are probably losing sleep because they're so mad about someone who they aren't able to just hurl slurs at until they go away.
I actually love the imagery of that mixed metaphor, and it's very fitting.
Thanks, I came up with it while writing it and noticed it was weird but also thought it eas pretty good
On another note. You can always tell the actual decency of a community on what is allowed and what isn't. I ended up here cause I got sick and tired of the casual bigotry elsewhere. Normally a good way to make me leave. Hexbear isn't perfect but its hell of a lot better then others.
Basically if you are not putting Black and other marginalized people first, your politics are probably going to suffer. If you do put them first, you'll end up in the right place eventually.
The .world thread has an Adolf Hitler user and another with lots of upvotes using the R-slur. Who knew anti-communists would turn out to be racist and ableist?
Lol that top comment with the ableist slur, they can't help themselves. What a non-toxic thread I'm sure
And not even one token "not cool bro, but ... " in the replies either.
Ableism is anti tankie praxis
Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those > who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the > occurrence of the events thereof.
So, tankie is a term used to describe communists that push back against any liberal propaganda, because obviously liberals never say anything wrong or disparaging about communism, they are only ever truthful and correct.
The communists that don't push back against liberal propaganda? They're good not-tankies.
This is basically "anyone that disagrees with liberals is a tankie". It's a non-falsifiable thought-terminating cliche intended to prevent people from listening to anyone to their left other than the people that claim to be leftists but ultimately only reinforce liberal propaganda.
"Communist" that supports liberal narratives = good
Communist that performs any struggle against liberals = tankie.
It's painfully obvious why Cowbee just defaults to "Tankie just means communist". It's true and correct. Liberals consider any communist that disagrees with them a tankie, and any communist that does not disagree with liberals is obviously still a liberal, that's kinda how ideology works.
Liberals believe in a hypothetical good communist that would not qualify as a tankie. This imaginary communist was cooked up by liberals out of first principles for how they believe a communist should act and behave, because the core instinct of the liberal is to accuse their enemies of being secret right-wingers who are lying about their intentions. The hypothetical good communist would have ideals that we would say are similar to an ultra-leftist, or the completely fictional "patriotic communist" thing. As in:
- rejection of association with any current socialist state
- rejection of militant organizing
- rejection of any intermediary stage in the progression towards communism. Immediately abolish the commodity form
- complete agreement with the western world order
So under their metric for a non-tankie leftist, Che Guevara would be a bad communist because he seized state power and used violent means. Whereas a good communist would be someone like Vaush, an internet streamer who advocates for the election of Democrats to public office.
Right and Vaush is just Destiny dressed up in red and black. Not a leftist but a liberal claiming to be a leftist but everything they advocate people do is just liberalism.
Their non-tankie is just a liberal pretending to be a communist. Every communist that actually poses any argument to liberals and opposes action that reinforces liberalism is a tankie.
Therefore every communist is a tankie. Therefore tankie just means, communist.
That's not even getting into the fact that the very definition itself applies to all communists. Let's go through each group:
MLs: Support all AES. Tankies
Trots: Support Cuba. Authoritarian state. Tankies
Maoists: Don't support China. Support USSR. Tankies.
DemSocs: Support Cuba. Some support USSR (jeremy corbyn and all Euro DemSocs for example). Tankies
This effectively amounts to 95% of all people that call themselves communists. Going into increasingly more niche sects of communist is pointless.
They're hypothetical non-tankie communist is Bernie Sanders
So, a liberal...
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
It's a really piss poor definition, coming from Wikipedia that's not a surprise. As a pejorative it is a communist who is PERCIEVED to support non specific repression. These atrocious acts of repression are such a truism that I guess no examples are needed.
These atrocious acts of repression are such a truism that I guess no examples are needed.
"No investigation, no right to speak" are words I take very seriously as a Tankie who loves the ontologically evil Mao. I hage no fucking patience for people who spout bullshit on important issues, like how the world should work om a fundamental basis. If you don't care enough to have some rigor and discipline then be fucking humble about it. Not all voices are equal cause a lot of voices are talking out their asses. I despise how unqualified and unsubstantiated rhetoric just slides. There's a lot of shit I know next to nothing about, i'm not gonna argue with someone who clesrly knows what they're talking about and I wouldn't hold onto any pre conceived conceptions with any tenacity either..if you dont wanna learn stuff. Dont express opinions on the topic.
I had to go to a funeral recently and I forget ehat brought it on, but my dad was about to repeat his thing about 'modern art' meaning non representational art (we're talking paintings here). Heard it a million times and im pretty sure its not even a real thing, where he went to an art museum (this is why I think its a bs story that over the years became his memory) amd apparently amongst all the good art of men on horses or boats or whatever, there was a piece lit up and specially displayed of a single line going across the top of the frame and a single line going down the left side and I guess he's still upset. I have pointed out before that it's the only piece he remembers from this supposed exhibit and it clearly has had a long lasting effect because he brings it up often. He thinks artistic ability is a genetic trait and not a skill you learn, my family is amazed I can draw and play music cause non of them can. They dont get that most people dont start out good at this stuff, so he would even admit he doesnt know art well. Anyway, I cut him off and pointed out thst Modern Art isn't weird at all and it's shit like Van Gough cause the modern was a long ass time ago. And went on to explain art history from the turn of the century to his supposed painting of lines and how the person who made the piece would most likely be delighted that he's been mad about it for like 50 years. So many people think their tiny little bit of osmotic trivia on a topic means their opinion means a fucking thing. Being that arrogant all the time must be tiring.
Isn't most of that stuff building on former stuff too? So like, maybe to someone who isn't deep into art can't understand it but someone who knows what's led up to a certain piece being made, what artists it's influenced by and why, what it's saying, what it's critiquing, who it's speaking to, all these things are important aspects.
It's like... Most advanced science is completely nonsense if you don't have the basic science to understand it? I think that's what I'm getting at.
More or less
I hate that asinine shit when it comes to modern art. Not the art itself but the ridiculous blubbering over whether or not it's real. You have to ask what qualifies as art to these people. Is it the finished product? Is it just skill that it takes to create it? Is it the feeling one gets while creating it? Or is it the feeling one gets when consuming it? Perhaps it is a combination of all these things. If any of these are true, then certainly the line painting he saw qualifies.
Even before I consider myself more mix and more anarchist I was often called a tankie by neo liberals. Was some pretty basic shit to normally
I got called a tankie by one of the worst people, formerly of world now feddit online, and when asked why they just said I don't need to prove anything and called me and others more names.
It's entirely meaningless which those who still worship Biden and Obama use because they think it's the dirtiest word out there as everyone just laughs at those who earnestly use it as a slur
You ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a ~~red~~ tankie
My irl anarchists suck and use the term sincerely irl. I asked one what they meant by that and suddenly it wasnt an Open and Free Meeting of Minds or what fucking ever.
Don't you understand?! We have to suppress dissenting voices to stop their echo chamber bullshit! And we need to use our authority to brutalise and crush people who disagree with us to stop their authoritarianism!
And we need to use our authority to brutalise and crush people who disagree with us to stop their authoritarianism!
Name one instance of this. Go on.
Asking for evidence?! What are you, some sort of authoritarian tankie?! Mods! Ban this person for being authoritarian!
By creating an echochamber.
No!!! It's those damn tankies who have an echo chamber, not us! That's why we need to defederate from them and block them all so we never have to hear any opinions that disagree with ours!
The term Tankie has a clear definition
"how can i be a tankie if i didn't take part in the literal suppression of the hungarian uprising? "
i'm not old enough to have been a tankie
In the rare occasion both someone makes the Nazi's are members of the NSDAP comment and call me a tankie in the same argument in that order, I know what I must do.
They aren't wrong. The clear definition is "anyone I don't like". I don't know what's so hard about that
I'd say it more precisely means anyone who doesn't want to bomb Russia or China
A reply quoting the meriam Webster definition was posted. It didnt invalidate cowbee at all
No mention of the CIA backed 1954 Hungarian uprising, only vibes
Wait. It was Wikipedia. Not even a dictionary.
"Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof."
So, as a pejorative the support or defense of Acts of Repression is so in the opinion of the person using the pejorative. It doesnt say who is being repessed, I want some stuff repressed. This is a piss poor definition because it's far from definite.
I mean it's a good definition because it accurately reflects how the word is used. It's the word itself that is silly and indicates the person using it sucks.
The definition should point that out, gives a false impression otherwise. The word perceived should be in their
That's implicit in all definitions
nazi.world at it again, comrade Cowbee lives rent free in the heads of these
We love our @Cowbee@hexbear.net don't we folks
NGL anyone who goes after Cowbee...well not smack cause I don't think they would like that. Force to watch Cowbee approved documentaries?
They have to try so hard to disparage and silence Cowbee exactly because Cowbee is convincing, patient, and reasonable
That's exactly it. They have no actual defense against Cowbee's method of respectful patience (and they absolutely can't compete with his well rounded knowledge of history that he can back up with citations even they can't deny). So their only option is to fabricate outright ridiculous lies and twist themselves in knots to try paint him as the bad guy somehow. This time he's the big bad guy who must be literally boycotted because... he doesn't know about the wikipedia definition of once-niche term now used as a catch-all by anti-communists? Um. Right. Ok, libs. But no, I think we can safely assume that Cowbee is as well aware as the rest of us what reactionaries and liberals mean when they start frothing about "tankies."
Edit: It's also amusing they're calling to boycott not just Cowbee himself but an entire instance because a single user on it is supposedly unaware of the wikipedia definition of an epithet. An epithet every ML has encountered thousands of times. And this is supposed to make the fediverse, (which is famously all about sequestration and disconnecting people from each other and challenging ideas) a better place.
If I'm not mistaken, no one has actually pinged @Cowbee@lemmy.ml to this thread about him yet.
you know you are an effective tankie when libs hate you for no reason
Cowbee is convincing, patient, and reasonable
Their response would make sense for someone like me and how hateful and open I am with it, but they're going after someone who is basically like a fucking kindergarten teacher, in comparison
He's our Ms Rachel
Absolutely legendary poster in a positive way from our end and like their version of Ganon

Also: The specter of Cowbee remains strong
this is such redditor behaviour. i think they're lost
they have a dedicated hating community? son im crine
It's dedicated to hating on anyone they deem unworthy while totally not being a hateful community
The cm stuff is incredible because he will stalk music posts even & go out of his way to crosspost them on unfederated instances. I pray he is a bot because that shit is borderline affectionate
He's not and brags about how they do it manually.
In their own words I can't automatically do it because I have to personally filter it
I’m banned from a bunch of places cuz of an interaction with cowbee

Lmfao I didn’t even see the username when I read that comment, what incredible self awareness.
Im starting to think there was a reason lemmy.world pre-emptively defederated "as a last resort"
turns out "encouraging diversity of opinions from across the political spectrum" always end up meaning "safe space for fascism"
funny how that works

Ukraine, much like Palestine, wants to mind their own business but can’t because they’re being invaded. How do you hate Israel but also support Russia? It’s madness.
I don't think that description applies to either of those states
Ukraine was just minding its own business, slaughtering 13,000 ethnic Russians in the Donbas when giant meany Putler decided to invade for no reason!
listen bub, history began when i started paying attention and NOT A MOMENT SOONER
It's wild someone would even boil down something as complicated as international politics down to "you see, the country is like a little guy, and it WANTS things" let alone leaving out the exact and specific reasons why both of those wars started and what each side hopes to achieve in their outcome.
Reasons are for real countries like the USA
Every other country is weird and foreign
Other countries are exotic; they do things for reasons we cannot understand. Thus, bomb them.
Interviewer: But despite this, why not talk?
Khanafani: [pauses] Talk about what?
Talk about the possibility of not fighting.
Not fighting for what?
Not fighting at all, no matter what for.
Yeah, people usually fight for something, and they stop fighting for something.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I think it's understandable enough and the bigger problem is that no country "just wants to mind their own business". Literally not a single one, whether we favor what the country does or not.
Or another way to think about it: having borders and ports instantly means "minding your own business" implies minding other countries' business.
Dogs of the US empire
Except these dinguses aren't even anti-war (as the northwest quadrant is labeled), they just aren't willing to question, let alone separate themselves from the propaganda machine that has made them feel good and righteous about being on Team Ukraine fighting against Sauron-Putler.
It's understandable to think Russia just started the war in 2022 out of nowhere if you lived on the regular internet this whole time and had nothing but mainstream liberal sources. If this was Instagram or a more "normie" website, for lack of a better term, I'd be totally empathetic with libs who think Ukraine and Palestine are comparable. But being so incurious as to still believe that's the only version of events despite being on Lemmy, where it's pretty easy to spend 5 minutes reading what the "tankies" have to say and understand there's a different historical narrative where the war started in 2015, is just so sad.
The war started in 2014 when Russia first invaded. It did explode into a far bigger conflict in 2022 though.
You're right that it was in 2014 not 2015 as I said in my comment, but to say that Russia "first invaded" and started the war then is also incorrect. The ethnic Russians in Crimea who asked for Russia to intervene were responding to the Euromaidan coup which was a significant escalation from the far right in Ukraine. If there had been no intervention from Russia there would probably have been massacres of ethnic Russians.
you realize that the CIA-backed nazi coup occurred before the Russian invasion right? Check your timeline. The first shot was done by NATO.
EDIT: putting this up top because it's more pertinent, they probably hate cowbee the most because he's so fucking polite & patient with everyone
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I HAVEN'T CHECKED THIS SHIT IN SO LONG & I'M STILL ON THE FRONT PAGE BABY
You know, Slammerites (Shroomites?) & I have had our disagreements, but I will never deny the utility of their graphic design skills. God how do people miss the most hamfisted jokes on here!?
Anyone who gets this caught up into relatively tiny online message board discourse is deeply unserious. I really don’t have any clue what anyone hopes to accomplish by creating a post such as that.
Some people spend their entire lives lost in the sauce.
How it feels to lurk on !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works as a communist
MeanwhileOnGrad are the biggest losers on the entire fediverse
Agreed wholeheartly. Goat left his post and made PugJesus the sole mod. So you know that's going well.
'tankie' is the type of term one uses, when their actually-existing socialist opponent defends itself with militant measures to survive against foreign-backed violence and sabotage, but they can't technically call them 'Stalinist'.
anyways, good luck to those boycotting - the troika of hexbear.net, lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml lived, is living and will live, without such wrecker scum.

We will. The problem is that what they want is to wall us off from the rest of the fediverse so that as it inevitably grows (as corporate social media continues to enshittify), no one will see what anti-imperilaists and communists have to say. They want to keep the politics a well-manicured liberal-only garden - with exceptions made for reactionaries and fascists of course. They want to make sure any reddit alternative still maintains the same narratives that reddit maintains, curbing the spread of radical thought. This is the raison d'être of piefed, of lib.world, and of all the calls to boycott the "tankie" instances.
Obviously they'd love to totally kill off the principled Marxist instances entirely, but since that's not possible, they want to cut us off, the purpose is to keep us sequestered and hidden so they can demonize us without anyone seeing how much sense we make and how explanatory Marxism-Leninism is with regards to geopolitics and the absurdity of the state of the world.
It's literally why so much hate is poured on Cowbee in particular because he is so good at just laying out the facts in a straightforward and totally non-combative way that any lurkers who read his comments won't be able to deny he's correct. And that is what they can't have, what is truly intolerable to them: more and more people recognizing we aren't this extremist fringe, but are simply people willing to do the radical thing of applying scientific methodology to social, political, and economic realities rather than accept whichever propaganda is most convenient.
If they want to wall us off then all this pissing and crying about us is a remarkable bit of self sabotage. The people we’re most likely to reach are those disaffected with useless liberalism and curious enough to look for alternatives.
These shitheels raising up Cowbee as a prominent alternative voice can only be good for us. Cry bullying works on Reddit because the mods and admins there are so thoroughly captured by corpo operatives and feds, and can effectively remove dissident speech from the platform.
The fediverse just doesn’t work like that. They can somewhat impede access by removing us from the timeline, but the content still exists and is available to anyone curious, even without an account.
In summary, cry more fascist pricks, your tears only make us stronger
Literally how I found about r/chapotraphouse.
Yeah I eventually checked out the CTH sub because redditors kept accusing me of being from there.
We can just make accounts on their silly web zones. This isnt reddit, old fashioned raids are on the menu.
I feel that hexbear has really backed down on raids as a diplomatic gesture.
That can change and has been probably the right call for now, if the walls are built, I don't think it's against the rules to go through the gate in disguise.
There's no elaborate argument here, it really is as simple as "the term Cowbee said is vague and gets applied selectively has a clear definition" and the definition may as well just be "a tankie is a communist who supports bad things"
Or like another interpretation could be "User is sick of being called a tankie, decides to be like 'yeah okay you got me, they are tankies just like all communists 🙄" the the other person thinks they got some le epic win.
Don't attack my bovine eusocial pollinator like that who do you think you are
They think they're the adults in the room
Making TOUGH decisions
Look, I would love to never bomb another country ever again, but my friend and colleague, just really wants to kill everyone who isn't Christian. So as a compromise, we're going to bomb Yemen
can't be that tough if they keep deciding the same way
Why can't anyone there give a "non-tankie" example of an actual communist organization that accomplished anything of note? I'm not talking about their local friends, but a movement, a country, whatever. There's never any example.
Succeeding is oppressive. Romanticizing an endless struggle is what gets the goods

Posting the traditional article
I actually have gotten examples before. I've gotten completely warped ideas of Catalonia, Maknovist Ukraine, and the Kurds in Syria. And wouldn't you know it all three of those examples I've heard have been framed in the context of how they would have been successful movements but the dastardly tankies betrayed them at the last moment.
It's deeply unserious. There are things to learn from those three examples but the romanticized fairy tale stuff just isn't useful. It's so absurd to me because baby brained liberals learned the exact opposite lesson from those historical examples. It's not "don't trust tankies" but the lesson is truly "do not trust the western powers, they're just using you as a wedge to disrupt their more powerful enemies."
the Kurds in Syria that have integrated happily into the Zionist ISIS government
All 3 of these movements were stamped out :skull:
yfw the Islamic Republic of Iran has done far more to liberate humanity than every single "non-tankie" communist movement put together
posting is praxis, how dare you imply otherwise
All revolutions are authoritarian. It’s the forceful dispossession and usurping of one class by another. That’s inherently going to be violent and based on authority derived from the workers.
And we all know that the imperialists of the world will never let a communist project exist in peace, they will assault it with never ending attempts to destroy and undermine and isolate it. So until there’s global communism and no imperialism, an ongoing authoritarian state is required to protect the communist project.
an ongoing authoritarian state is required to protect the communist project
I get what you're saying, but I think this is ceding too much ground by more or less accepting their definition of "authoritarian" (when the government does something I don't like).
It's much cleaner to argue that all states have police, all states restrict speech, all states try to disrupt those who wish to overthrow them, etc., and then ask how China is different along those lines than the U.S. or any other "good" state.
every state in human history is authoritarian, and to be non-authoritarian is to not-exist and give up
It has more to do with the fact that the state is, quite literally, the ability to do legalized violence. Not that these people have any actual coherent understanding of political science. The state, in order to be a state, must have and maintain a monopoly on violence.
The goal is to work towards a future where no violence from anyone is legal. Liberals don't believe such a thing is ever possible, therefore any communist who is using the state to attempt to achieve such a goal is therefore lying.
This is also where the difference between most Left-Coms and MLs lies. Left-Coms believe that you can simply abolish the state and the commodity-form wholesale, while MLs believe that the state apparatus must first be harnessed for the benefit of the working class, as it is a tool, to control violence and use it against the bourgeois (and more importantly not against the working class).
Anarchists (assuming they are principled and not simply liberals larping as anarchists) are on the same side as the Left-coms, they simply believe that a stateless society should be organized around small stateless producers, rather than industrialized economies of scale.
TLDR: Yes, all states are authoritarian, but only ML states exist around the idea that we should using the state apparatus a be moving towards a stateless future, whereas liberal states are more than happy to wallow in the current modern setup forever, as if states are an eternal concept, and not an extremely recent phenomena (relative to humanity).
and OP is anti wikipedia psyop
Oh look, you've collected all the fascists in one thread!
Has an elected Democrat used the word "tankie" yet? I know it's coming.
Democrats would have to acknowledge the left exists first, instead of putting their hands over their ears when they run into their genoicde meetings
they certainly punch to their left enough
Not that I'm aware but a lib boomer radio host I hate listen to sometimes while driving for work has said it in the last year and he regularly has Democrats on his show including senators
A month ago he had some nobody lib with a shitty blog about how everything Trump is doing is like Stalin but instead of talking about her blog most of the interview was more like a book report on a book that she hadn't finished reading by her own admission and which she could've pronounce one of the 2 words in the title (this lady sounded white as hell, English was definitely her first language)
That book? Gulag Archipelago of course and the host ageed, he also thinks archipelago is a difficult word to pronounce and neither of them acknowledge that the author was a literal nazi (entirely on brand for this asshole given his overwhelming support for )
Been meaning to make an effort post about this guy, ideally with the goal of organizing a brigading of the call-ins to his show and a raid of the livechat of his youtube stream for at least a few weeks to fuck with him and maybe even turn some of his now radicalizing boomer fans against him by getting them to see how they've been lied to
We need a special version of the emoji where it's Cowbee in their brain
Wow! I hate every single person in the comments I wish they'd have their intestines pulled out of whichever orifice would be most painful
The most they have on Cowbee is trying to say they should add the term "authoritarian" in front of the word "communist" even though if you asked them to define an authoritarian communist it would describe 99% of communists.
As absolute babies, nobody on that thread points out how little thought has gone into this.
I've seen people call db0 tankie
lmao
Cowbees in shambles.
If you're unironically posting the wikipedia article for Tankie, I assume you had the Shibata brain treatment.

It's always fun in those kinds of posts to watch all the people pile in to proudly declare they are to reality
Of course it's that cm account doing everything they can to make ml look bad by making it look amazing.
