The head of Iran’s parliamentary committee on national security and foreign policy said that by providing drone support to Israel, Ukraine has “effectively become involved in the war.”
Zelenskyy earlier stated that Kyiv has already deployed interceptor drones and a team of specialists to help protect US military bases in Jordan.
“Tankism” isn’t an ideology, communism is. “Tankie” is just a pejorative for communist.
For the third time in this thread I will go ahead and correct your intentional misinformation campaign.
Tankie is a pejorative for auth communists.
You’re insidiously trying to act as if this is the red scare 2.0. There’s a reason we call you tankies. It’s because you’re tankies.
“I’m right because I’m right!”
Very compelling

“Im right because it’s clear I’m right!”
Lol, go back to reddit you fucking nerd. Talking like an anime villain written by Joss Wheadon isn’t actually a compelling argument past 12 years old

Lol. You can take the redditer out of reddit…
lol so no, then, just gonna try to troll? Ragebait? Because you got nothing of substance? Thanks.
“debate me!”
The cry of redditer
What does “authoritarian” mean, in your words? If the overwhelming majority of communists support socialist states, isn’t that just being a communist? I support the working class having the authority of the state to suppress capitalists and fascists, and I am against the capitalist class having that authority. I’m also for a democratically run society. What separates my views from what you believe a “non-authoritarian communist” believes?
Lmao. You know very well that the idea of stateless communism exists, so no. The overwhelming majority of self-described communists support socialist states? According to who? Polling from CPUSA? Your interpersonal relationships? There are plenty of leftists on lemmy who would call themselves anarchosocialist or anarchocommunist. But okay, sure, I kinda get the idea behind “well if the majority agrees that a socialist state is required for communism, doesn’t that just make it communism?”. But these people are ALSO sometimes communist. Tankie is a pejorative mostly used by leftists to punch right, not by liberals to punch left. That’s been what I’ve seen. Liberals don’t even know what the fuck a tankie is outside of lemmy. Liberals here just use it because actual leftists use it to punch right at auth commies.
Don’t joke with me. You know the material difference between a state imposing law on sometimes unwilling citizens and people that live harmoniously in good will with one another.
Communism is stateless, but it can only come about post-socialism, which has a state. You cannot skip from capitalism to communism.
The CPC alone has over 100 million members, and communist orgs around the globe are most commonly Marxist-Leninist. This includes the Black Panther Party, which supported the DPRK and sent people to learn from the WPK and CPC:
We aren’t talking about anarchism.
I’ve only ever seen it used by liberals or anarchists, and never to punch right but to punch left.
Is your point that any state with laws is authoritarian? I’d agree, which is why it’s better for the working classes to control the state as they do in socialist countries so that we can collectivize all production and distribution to erase the material basis of the state for good.
Yes, my point is that any state with laws is authoritarian. I think I also said in another post that I think an authoritarian government does not have to be bad. The problem is that the government is doing bad things, though, so like…
How do we not all understand the moral inconsistency of insisting people “not vote for genocide” and then be complicit in things like Russian imperialism and Chinese suppression of freedoms lol
Except for Hong Kong and Ukraine, of course. Lol.
Dunno where you got that from. Fuck the Ukraine government and Hong Kong government.
Why does me taking issue with a government’s actions against civilians make me pro-some government? Oh right, it doesn’t, you’re just too brainwashed to understand that not everyone falls in line into “camps” like you choose to do. Sheep.
Lol. Yeah, you’re a real independent thinker
The “bad things” you pointed to were putting down violent protests from the Chinese equivalent of 4chan posters. The “freedoms” the CPC suppresses are not blanket but instead directed against capitalists, fascists, and those that undermine the socialist system and work against the majority of society. There is nothing inconsistent about opposing the right-wing DNC and GOP and supporting socialism.
Violent protests according to whom btw?
Counter-protestors and the government. That’s why it’s important to recognize that the majority opposed independence.
You are illiterate.
