U.S. President Joe Biden on Thursday called China a "ticking time bomb" because of its economic challenges and said the country was in trouble because of weak growth.
It’s not, and those aren’t the comments myself or the person I responded to were talking about. And yes, that take is dumb.
We were talking about the tankies – in the original meaning of the word as coined by communists, not as a slur against communists in general. Authoritarianism and its apologists can get fucked. People that think we’re in a zero-sum-game where they have to offset the (legitimate) evils of “the west” by being equally disgusting and brutal while on “the left” are fucking morons and don’t deserve the title “communist”.
The British communists, you mean? The ones that were pissed that the Soviets were violently crushing other communists for daring to object to their oppression? The ones that coined a term for their fellow Brits out of disgust that they were cheering it on?
The Brits called themselves communists, but you’ve spoken at length about how calling yourself communist means very little.
The Brits were morons or useful idiots and, while I hate Khrushchev and view him as a revisionist, it was correct for him to put down the color revolution lead by liberal reactionaries who called themselves communists.
I bet you’ve been keeping that dunk in your pocket for a while and you were so excited to use it, but I don’t think you understood the comment you were replying to.
That dunk is for when someone replaces one word with another to make it seem bad. The comment you replied to was pointing out that you had simply replaced the standard Western TM anticommunism with a more refined anticommunism, which you express as “anti-tankies”
you get that “tankie” and “communist” as a pejorative are functionally identical, right? Coincidentally, they’re also basically the same as “woke” as far as pejoratives go.
Where are people on this Internet forum being as disgusting and brutal as US imperialism? You know, the global hegemon, violently enforced through hybrid warfare
The Politburo’s decision to put down the revolt in Hungary prevented the countless fasicts soldiers who had just ten years ago fought for the Reich and the Arrow Cross party, and murdered hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jewish people and many other’s beside, from seizing control of the country and bringing back the horrors of fascism. After the destruction of the USSR and the fall of the Eastern Block Hungary rapidly fell to Fascism once again.
How is saying this ‘China’s going to collapse any second now I promise bro’ is dumb being MAGAt

The British morons who coined “tankie” were wrong then and their ideological successors are wrong now

The Hungarian uprising? The one prominently featuring Nazi collaborators? That the one you’re so concerned about?
Nazi = National Socialist
This is what British communism was about and what British communists fought so hard to defend
You’re just being racist because you’re not respecting their culture and material conditions that shaped their unique version of communism /s
Holy shit this gave me such whiplash lmao

Even
boy got a few things right. He may have been a shitty commie but even a bad commie can put down little a fascism, as a treat.
goddamn i hate it when liberals think they’re communists
if you replace “communist” with ‘tankie’ in your anticommunist propaganda, you are still a useful idiot for the state department.
Brilliant.
