    pretty sure tankies in threadiverse have nothing to do with ML theory.

    I disagree. Many share important ideological things such as democratic centralism and many use the same talking points offline MLs use to defend their favorite states. In practice they also always seem to fall back to ML approaches when asked about what to do.

        Damn, I’m having an identity crisis. Am I a dogmatist who reads theory and blindly accepts everything I read, or do I not read theory at all 🤔

        Do you actually have any reason for thinking that we don’t read theory, btw, or is this just another case of, “They’re bad anyway so it’s fine to just make up whatever about them?”

          You’re a dogmatist who blindly accepts general vibes and cargo cults shit you half overheard from people who are wrong or you’ve been outside and I’m not talking about you but I don’t think that’s the case given this comment

            “Dogmatically accept a general vibe” is a new one for me. It’s a very funny example of how comically baseless your criticisms are. So obsessed with shitting on us about every single thing that you can’t even keep things straight. Won’t let us have a single positive quality even to keep your story straight.

            Let me repeat my precious question: is there anything about the “general vibe” I supposedly follow that actually deviates from the theory I supposedly haven’t read? Do you actually have any reason to think we don’t read theory, or are you just shitting on us in every possible way you can concieve of, with no basis in reality?

      bruv, reread what I commented.
      We can seize the memes of Marx-Leninism without praxing the acts.
      Black anarchism is ML praxis, but more about empowering each other, than excommunicating people for contrivances.
      e.g. Blåhaj is an ML instance, but Nexus Ancap. This doesn’t mean they need to defederate and gulag each other.

        Hmm maybe we are just not getting each other. I feel like I precisely replied to a part of your comment, but you seem to think I really missed the point.

        Black anarchism is ML praxis

        To me this doesnt make sense, and from a hlance your links dont seem to be able to explain that to me. Doesnt mean its not there, just that I dont get it. I connect ML praxis with hierarchical, authoritarian and exclusionary organizing and I dont see that really reflected in your link.

        e.g. Blåhaj is an ML instance, but Nexus Ancap.

        I wouldnt describe those instances with those words, but I think we also just use them differently

          Thoust needs more reading.
          MLs are horizontal, vanguardian and inclusionary when organizing. They just are more aware some folks excel at vanguarding better than direct actors, aiders, intersecters, solidarity, etc. etc… Not everyone is Superman, but I can definitively trust Lois Lane can get her hands on the list of the Legion of Doom’s secret addresses, or say Superboy intersecting with many people in a rally. Awareness of how people excel at other things over other things is just being aware people are different. And MLs accept those facts are real, and need to be accounted when organizing anything.

          We are no longer going to talk about tankies, I pray.

          I wouldnt describe those instances with those words, but I think we also just use them differently.

          I exemplified praxis over meming. The rules are in place for actual enforcements. “Influence” here meaning actually mimicking Joseph Stalin for enforcing his views over all. e.g. “I would hate to gulag you for ‘wrongthink’”

            We are no longer going to talk about tankies, I pray.

            Pray all you want.
            The definition of a tankie is a person that supports the idea that a country should have the right to use its military or paramilitary forces for suppressing unwanted domestic civilian activity.

            If you do support tankie regimes, such as that of China or the Russia, you are a tankie.

            Tankies are not okay. You see a tankie, punch him on the face. Thank you for your attention.

            That’s a poor analogy. It’s a federated network. No one is “gulaged” when we ban them. They’ve got the rest of the threadiverse to interact with. A “gulag” analogy would be apt if we had the ability to ban transphobic accounts from the whole of the fediverse, but we don’t have that power. All we can do is stop them from entering our space.
