  • I do appreciate the growing awareness that the crux of being anti-tankie is being pro-western. It’s a nationalist brainworm at its core. It’s a claim that only white westerners know what socialism is and how to accomplish it.

    It’s quite literally a claim that every socialist movement throughout history did everything incorrect and all they really needed was someone with a big white brain. Ask any of these folks if they truly believe hundreds of millions of Chinese people truly don’t know what socialism is. They’ll always say the Chinese are brainwashed or can’t actually voice their opinions out of fear. Yeah, ok.



  • I’d compare leftism in the west to more like a dormant virus that occasionally shows symptoms, but is quickly and ruthlessly addressed because the host is a hypochondriac. And there’s no vaccine or treatment of the underlying cause, because capitalism is the cause. I’m a very firm believer that leftist movements spring up then spread very rapidly, like a pathogen or something. The masses can “activate” within weeks sometimes. Movements that begin as maybe 100 people can suddenly explode into hundreds of thousands in just a year, or less. At one point the communist party of China had dwindled down to what, 20 people? And then around 15 years later they had seized the whole country.

    I think Porky knows this, that the really scary stuff is uncontrolled widespread spontaneous discontent that coalesces into something more concentrated. That’s why they’re less afraid of fascists, because fascists will gladly play by the liberal rules.

    Also yes I’m comparing myself to a virus
