What level of tankie are you?
What level of tankie are you?
I apparently skipped level ??? and went straight to believing the Black Book is fascist propaganda. I didn’t realize I was supposed to stan Pol Pot first!
We need a "What level of liberal are you?" with very similar framing. First step can be "blames everything that goes wrong in capitalism on Putler and Chinese bots."
Except they fucked this up and put some pretty mild beliefs at the top end of the whole scale.
It'd be like if I had a "what level of liberal are you" and level 4800000 was "I overlook deeper philosophical considerations when consuming media I enjoy"
Wears a Che Guevara t-shirt
No it clearly says "wears Che Guevara's T-shirt". We were all given an actual shirt worn by Che during his lifetime as part of our initiation into Tankiedom, did you not get yours?
Unfortunately I missed out on the Che Guevara groupies handing out merch worn by the man himself. I need to hand in my leftist credentials
Pro tip if you're gonna strawman an entire ideology don't tell people thinking landlords should get the wall is one of the most extreme beliefs that group has, you're gonna get the not insane 70% of the population on that side immediately.
you're gonna get the not insane 70% of the population on that side
oh, I don't know, there's a lot of landlord-sympathizers out there. especially in Canada (not that that really matters to non-Canadians)
But what about the mom and pop landlords?
Hey, lookie here! I’ve got a mom and pop wall just for them.
These levels are all wrong. North Korea support comes way after America bad. Every President of USA since 1972 is at level 45?
Excuse me, "warmongering creatures"? Creatures? Bet this fucker thinks they're not racist, no sireebob.
Oh fuck, I never got a Che shirt, so I’m not even a tankie
doesn't matter, just take a regular t-shirt, cut off the sleeves and turn it into a tankie top
lib level 1: i wish we could help poor people more but muh economy
lib level 2: cull the disgusting creatures
I was top level tankie even as an anarchist. True left unity concentrated in my person
"russian people aren't warmonger creatures"? fucking WILD that thats supposed to be a bad or absurd opinion. someone get these freaks the calipers
I'm not even specifically pro-Lenin and I'm tankie last level. (apart from the four words "communism didn't kill anyone")
This scale's messed yo.
The US State Department and the United Nations are at Tankie Level 45 :che-smile:
I have literally never seen anyone defend the Khmer Rouge, ever lol
lol why is the last level beyond ???, the last level statement is just objectively true.
TFW you don't take the black book at face value
The Khmer Rouge were defended by the US and got up to $215 million in weapons from them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegations_of_United_States_support_for_the_Khmer_Rouge
Ya i know that that's why i can't imagine any tankies defending them lol
This is a situation in which I am happy to defend Chomsky. At the point of writing there was little evidence for some of the most extraordinary claims, claims which were similarly leveled from propaganda channels against socialist regimes in Vietnam and else were - often without a base. Chomsky did alter his opinion based on new sources and contrasting evidence. However the people who do critique Chomsky do it mostly for anti communist reasons, ignore his later writings and at the same time ignore that the USA did support the Red Khmer after the evidence came out for quite a bit.
Let me quote wikipedia to make a point about how it is leveled and against whom it is leveled:
In addition to Chomsky, Porter, and Hildebrand, the atrocities of the Khmer Rouge have also been denied and/or whitewashed by such academics as Marxist scholar Malcolm Caldwell, Laura Summers,[18] Edward S. Herman, and Torben Retbøll.[19]
When was the last time che shirts were a thing? I swear I've seen more conservatives making fun of che shirts than I have actual unironic che shirts.
Anyways, The last time I smiled was on August 19th, 1991. I wear a dirty ushanka at all times, do not shave, and only take cold sponge baths because hot running water is bourgeoisie decadence. Every day at exactly noon I have the same meal of an expired Maoist MRE I store in a pit covered in old issues of a revolutionary newspaper. I sleep in a bed made of flags from every failed revolution so that they are never forgotten. In the evenings I stare at a picture of vodka by candlelight, but I do not allow myself to drink because there is nothing to celebrate. Every local org has banned me after I attempted to split it by assassinating the leadership. There is no plumbing in my house I shit in a brass bucket with a picture of Gonzalo and Deng french kissing in the bottom of it. My house is actually an overturned T34 in an abandoned junkyard in Wisconsin. I have a single friend in this world and it is a tapeworm named Bordiga that I met after ingesting spoiled borscht on 9/11 in the ruins of building 7 (I blew it up after finding that a nominally leftist NGO inside of it wasn’t sufficiently anti-imperialist, the attacks on the world trade center were a perfect revolutionary moment for me to enact direct praxis against liberalism). My source of income is various MLM schemes in the former soviet bloc that have been running for so long no one remembers who I am, they just keep sending money. I have not paid taxes since McGovern lost the Democratic nomination for president and my faith in electoralism died more brutally than my childhood dog after it got into an entire jar of tylenol. I own 29 fully automatic rusted kalashnikovs and three crates of ammunition entirely incompatible with them or any other firearms I own. My double PHD in marxist economics and 18th century Swiss philosophy (required to understand Engels) sits over the fireplace of my home, my fireplace is a salvaged drum from a 1950s washing machine that was recalled for locking children inside of it. I chose that washing machine model on purpose because I am anti-natalist. During the latest BLM protests I firebombed a Nikes outlet in the middle of a peaceful candlelit vigil. William F Buckley and I wrote hatemail to one another for 47 years until my final letter gave him an aneurysm. The only water I drink is from puddles. George Lucas and I dropped acid together during an MKULTRA southern baptist summer camp and he went on to write the movie Willow about our time together. The best way to test whether an electrical wire is live is to drool on it and shrimp salad is racist. You can make an IED out of potassium and the instructions are online thanks to Timothy McVey, who was actually a committed antifascist communist slandered by the deep state as part of operation condor. Every time a liberal files a restraining order against me, I carve a mark into the wall. I am running out of walls. When Amerika finally collapses I will be ready to lead the revolution. I am very smart and people like being around me.
When was the last time che shirts were a thing?
...
I did in fact see one last week on campus
The last time i saw one was on a college campus 20 years ago
I think this is a bit. The 1932 famine/Holodomor line is too on the nose, and a couple of others don't sound particularly good faith.
Please vote in the comments
if it's real
if it's a bit written by a commie.it's so hard to distinguish if it's a :LIB: with no self-awareness, since that's kinda the whole thing they do
