      Do you think the groups I mentioned aren’t tankies, or do you think the majority of people you would describe as tankies aren’t doing what they do?

        CPUSA (before they turned reformist)

        Answered your own fucking question before you even asked it.

        Marxist ideology doesn’t not make one a tankie. Shitposting online to convince people not to pull the levers of power in front of them does.

          I love watching Libs continue to make up arguments that weren’t made so that they can avoid the questions asked of them.

            Might want to find another thread to furiously jack it over. I pretty explicitly answered the question with their own previous statement.

          Pretending that choosing between two genocidal imperialist parties is a path to working class power is incompatible with Marxism, though. It would still be incorrect to think electing a socialist party would result in socialism, but it’s astronomically incorrect to think picking between genocidal imperialist parties is a meaningful path to worker liberation.
