I thought I’d try my hand at explaining why this meme fundamentally misunderstands communist theory and that I’d better move it here after I posted it, because the people on that community sure love downvoting and/or removing any good point made against the tankie dogma.
Oh, and remember to always lead by challenging tankies’ attempts to portray themselves as the ingroup of communism and any critics as the outgroup. That’s a tactic they love using, they construct their opinions as the absolute communist truth, and brand any opposing opinion as liberal and capitalist, while also strawmanning it. If you open by criticising their communist credentials, they can’t dismiss you as a liberal and pretend they’re arguing in good faith.
Fantastic response 👏. Voting can be used as a tool to further sensitive the populace on class consciousness and the dangers of oligarchy by electing left wing populists that deliver the message in order to create the conditions where revolution is more favourable. In fact, it’s currently happening in the US with Mamdani.
Of course ml’ites and their accelerationist brains cannot grasp this because they’ve read 10 pages of Das Kapital and have reached enlightenment
