And if, like you’re saying, tankies don’t do anything because that would be counterrevolutionary or whatever, then what’s the problem?
I find all this weird exclusively online rhetoric around what’s an acceptable type of communist to be exhausting
Oh it's not at all exclusively online. Like, I'd prefer not to be put into a gulag, thank you, or have a vanguard start revolutions when conditions aren't met, ultimately delaying the actual fall of capitalism. This shit has real-world implications, and them being tolerated in online places gives them power to recruit, to propagandise, ultimately to act like that AFK so we can't have that.
Yes I'm saying tankies should be deplatformed. Deal with it.
