      I don’t care what you think of me. I know who I am. Those are just words. It’s the actions that matter. Identity politics is just an expression of class struggle. Labeling people is a form of prejudice. I try not classify groups and discriminate based on political beliefs. Sometimes, people are misinformed and mislead. I’m willing to learn about different ideologies to form my own opinion. The Marxist Leninists I’ve talked to have been friendly and informed.

        Defending regimes that commit war crimes and genocide is a hard red line anyone with a hint of morality will refuse to cross, let alone a leftist. I don’t accept these things coming from the West, and I certainly won’t accept it from anybody else.

        You can be a ML all you like. Just don’t be one of the buffoons that support litteral genocide.

        I’m fighting red-browns, not reds. And boy is there plenty of them on Lemmy, although, thankfully, their sphere of influence shrinks daily with the bans and defederations.

        Edit: Being a nazi is not just a word, no. It doesn’t live in the “OK things to be” space.

          So, you voting for Biden? I never said I was a Nazi. You did. I said I don’t care what you call me. There is a difference.

            I’m not an American. I don’t vote in the US.

            You literally said you prefer being called a nazi than a liberal. I did not invent this. This says a lot about your twisted sense of priorities.

              Would you vote for Joe Biden if you were American? I said you can call me whatever you want since you’re hyper focused on labels. Call me Satan’s stillbirth. It doesn’t change the fact that calling people slurs on social media serves fascism.

                Being a genocide-denying tankie serves fascism too, in a more litteral way. On top of, you know, scaring away people that might be interested in leftism?

                  You’re yelling at a cloud. I ardently defend Palestinians against their genocide on Lemmy. I don’t like labels, but would be what you call an anarchist. An Internationalist with Council Communist leanings. And I’m here to educate those who think they can have socialism without abolishing capitalism. Marxist Leninists get that, so they are allies. You can’t defend capitalism and be a socialist. It’s that simple.

                    I never defended capitalism. I’m actually opposed to it too. And fuck Israel’s persecution of Palestinians.

                    You can say those things and still denounce tankism, like the root comment was doing. This should not be contentious.

                    Tankies are not the allies of any denomination of anarchists. More like traditional enemies. Defend sane marxist leninists if you’d like, but don’t jump to the defence of tankies, if you don’t want to be assimilated to them.
