In a press conference this week on New York City’s $12 billion budget gap, Mayor Zohran Mamdani zeroed in on the previous administration’s artificial intelligence chatbot as one of “a number of different things we’re going to pursue for savings.”

    Authoritarian-Communist.

    Named after the mostly Marxist-Leninist leftists who supported the Soviets brutality in the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, when they sent into tanks to kill the student democratic uprising.

    Used by non-auth leftists for decades, past few years some centrists and rightists have started using it for anything left that they don't like as calling everyone communists wasn't working any more. These days it generally means anyone who supports China, Russia, blames Ukraine, etc.

    The irony of the use in respect to Ukraine is that they're calling anyone not wanting to send tanks a tankie.

    That's not ironic, because they're not calling for the tanks to crush innocent people but to stop imperialist invaders.

    As long as someone else gets drafted to die in the trenches, right?

    You're either disingenuous or beyond naive about ethnic and nationalistic conflict.

    How about Russia doesn't invade Ukraine and no one has to get fucking drafted.

    Tankies love imperialism, it's sickening how willing you are to throw innocent lives away.

    Yeah, I'm not a tankie, my little chickenhawk. Just an actual communist who understands "no war but class war". But I guess cheering on more troops into the grinder seems fine to you from far away.

    Good than you understand lending critical support to the people of Ukraine in their valiant struggle against Russian imperialism.

    It’s laughable how some people say Ukraine should not be defended, but never say Russia should stop invading.

    You're not giving critical support to the people. You're giving it to the government.

    You want to go support that war, they're looking for volunteers, my little chickenhawk. Why don't you go relieve a conscript, since you think the struggle is so important?

    Such a tankie.

    Tell me genius, what would happen to the people if they do not resist Russia? A country who is literally engaged in genocide against them.

    You do not give a shit about the people of Ukraine, you are a reactionary chud who would see them die rather than support them fighting because America bad.

    So, you're not heading out the help them then, my little chickenhawk? You claiming it's genocide makes your cowardice worse, not better.

    Easy enough to decide the territorial integrity of Ukraine is worth other people being conscripted to die from your couch, I guess.

    As for your name calling, it's pretty funny to call a Titoist a tankie, while you take sides in ethnic conflicts. But I'm sure the history is wasted on you.

    Because America bad

    The US is bad, my little "anarchist". Maybe you should focus more on the genocides and imperialism your taxes are paying for .

    What are you doing to help them tankie?

    You actively harm them by saying others shouldn’t fight, and don't do a single thing to help. You are pure scum.

    Awwww look, the little chickenhawk is getting mad!

    Better watch out, or he'll get a conscript to come fight me!

    Seriously, you're a piece of shit and a coward, and you know it. Go fuck yourself.

    You are doing worse than nothing to help them, you are actively working against their defence in the face of genocide.

    Do not think for a second that your pathetic moralism is what is annoying me, it’s your complete disregard for human life. You cowardly say “no war but class war” while civilians face death and destruction from Russian bombs. You are not on the side of the proletariat, you are advancing the interests of the bourgeoisie. You are an enemy of the innocent people who are dying because Putin wants to be a conquerer.
