Every animal is equal, but some are more equal than others
He’s the epitome of “lefties” slactivism, only knowledge of other country is via propaganda press, only knowledge of the ideology is theory, only action of the theory is shitposting on the internet.
In fact he isn’t even qualified as “leftist” as much as he likes to claim.

An important addition to this point (not unique to him, most tankies do this) is the deliberately lazy epistemology. In a country that doesn’t have a real free press, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence (of any given thing). They don’t just not accept this, they judge evil capitalist countries based one on the clear vision that a chaotic (and deeply flawed) free press provides, and judge “socialist” countries based on their propaganda.
So… Wait. Does that mean capitalism is socialism too? /s in case anyone needs it
Huh, funny enough, I said communists are stupid enough to believe their state will wither instead of try and hold power in a thread here like last month, and this fucking smeghead came in all “nuh uh marxists don’t believe in the withering of the state” and now he admits it?
(Wthering Of The State™: Marxist concept coined by Friedrich Engels. “Not marxist” indeed.)
He posts so much that I think it’s possible to make him have an argument with himself just by selecting his own comments to contradict him.
Unfortunately I don’t have the mental power to go through so much garbage.
Essentially that the mechanisms creating billionaires in China, (state run capitalism), is a part of a calculated process of socialism.
Oh, I understand the argument. It wasn’t that I needed help to grasp it.
I just think the idea that the oligarchs of modern China have carefully analyzed socialism, and determined after their analysis that accumulating billions of dollars to themselves as part of a calculated process which will eventually result in doing away with their own wealth and power and handing it over to the working class when full socialism is achieved, is so asinine that I felt safe simply responding to it by showing Samuel Johnson giving a look to the camera like he’s just seen the dumbest shit he’s ever heard of.
A bit off-topic, but how do you add those tags besides usernames (such as the “Tankie influencer” thingy in the screenshot)? I’m also using Voyager, but I can’t figure out how to do it.
You have to go to the user profile and press on the three dots at the top right corner then a menu should appear at the bottom of the screen where it says edit tags
Well, that does it. But it didn’t happen before for me, because as I said, I didn’t enable tags in Settings! 🤦
oh sorry I forgot to mention that. at least you got it working
