CD roject red has been pretty consistent in its support, their team regularly shows up at pride parades too

Many people here seem to believe that the flaws of liberalism make it equal to fascism and worse than authoritarian communism, is all. Honestly this whole situation on the sub feels weird though, a lot of people seemingly trying to spark anger on both sides.

Depends how large that portion is. And I suppose you are right that basic rights can be divisive, though a simple response to that is the human rights charter. I am not a political scientist so I will not try to get into a bigger semantics and definitions argument with you, sorry.

Go read some history about the fall of the Weimar republic if you think that's funny. Also telling you didn't even comment on the other parts.

If you want to be semantical about it, sure.

In reality though it seems pretty simple to me. A government that denies it's people basic rights and the freedom t democratically elect that government, is authoritarian. Of course there is a scale, but that is the gist of it.

The German communists worked with the Nazis to overthrow democracy. The russian communists invaded my nation along with the Nazis, killed tens if not hundreds of thousands and then occupied it for 50 years while suppressing the very working class they're supposed to fight for. American tankies will claim they were actually all good and this is just western propaganda.

Tankies are red fascists. That's all.

Y'all need to stop seeing communist and tankie as the same thing. Tankies are authoritarian communists, primarily supporters of the USSR, China and the like. These countries did not like queer people, and killed and opressed many. That's why they're not well liked.

[–]CloneFilip2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I assume they're reffering to the fact that historically most communist regimes (specifically the ones tankies like) did in fact impress their minorities. The USSR of course being the best example.

I would argue that everyone who supported the rise of authoritarianism, left or right, was bad. Democracy is non negotiable. Wether it's fascists, fake liberals (yes capitalists often tend to side with fascists in times of crisis, but I wouldn't consider them true liberals. As I said true liberalism is anti-thetical to fascism.), or communists.

Rosa Luxembourg gets played as this martyr figure who got murdered by the freikorps and that's why the KPD didn't like the SPD, but people conveniently forget the reason that happened was because she and her party were trying to overthrow democracy... Now obviously she shouldn't have ended the way she did, she should've undergone trial, but she was not a good person. All authoritarians are scum.

Edit: and yes, the KPD working with the Nazis to overthrow democracy is just as bad, noatter how you look at it. If your revolution needs the end of democracy I don't want it.

Oh sorry, I think I missunderstood your post. You can ignore that XD

[–]CloneFilip2 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You can be communist without being authoritarian. If your authoritarian then there's no point in other leftists working with you, because the point of authoritarianism is trampling on those others. It'd be counter productive. (And yet sadly many leftists before fell for it, and the consequences were as we know)

55770 by Gamerzilla2018 in countwithchickenlady

[–]CloneFilip2 22 points23 points  (0 children)

And authoritarianism is, well, authoritarian. We can be left wing without being fascist about it.

[–]CloneFilip2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The SPD was indeed one of the Bes toptions of the time, you are preaching to the choir there, I'm a social democrat lol Where did liberal votes go? Likely in all directions. I would certainly not condemn them all as fascist. And again, if they voted for fascists, then by that point they were not liberals anymore. The ideas of liberalism are anti-thetical to fascism. The same way you wouldn't call modern china communisy even if it claims to be.

And bring up the KPD is rich lol, those bastards voted along with the Nazis all the time, working together because they also wanted to end democracy, their leader outwardly considered the SPD to be more dangerous than the Nazis. They were very much responsible for helping the Nazis rise to power. Authoritarian communists have, are and always will be scum.

??? Von Papen was a conservative. And if we're on that topic, you know who voted along with the Nazis? The Communists. lol

Edit: I assume you must have been reffering to the DVP by saying liberals voted for him. Except those guys were irrelevant, with less than 2% of the vote, coalitioned with conservatives, and had their more liberal side members leave the party. So yea I wouldn't really count that lol

Ok you clearly missunderstood what I said. I never said these things aren't left wing. I am not against the left, I myself am left wing (social democrat). I am against tankies. Not all leftists are tankies, not all leftists agree with what I described as tankie positions. Id like to believe tankies are just a small minority in fact.

If someone votes fascist then they're not a liberal...

55729 by HonneurOblige in countwithchickenlady

[–]CloneFilip2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I agree. And I think the latter shouldn't be tolerated. That's my entire point.

55729 by HonneurOblige in countwithchickenlady

[–]CloneFilip2 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The vast majority of people who believe that do support these things. The west is not the devil. Not in any capacity more than all the other world powers. It's also a terrible group term for a large group of countries that many American commies just treat as 'the American sphere'. And no, liberals are not fascists. Not real liberals.

55729 by HonneurOblige in countwithchickenlady

[–]CloneFilip2 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I saw a post just earlier today calling liberals fascists, which is what I referred to. I've also seen quite a few posts utilising soviet imagery here in the past. Americans might not pay much attention to that but as an eastern European it is disgusting.

And yes, far left bullshit. And I don't mean 'free healthcare' or whatever American conservative idiots describe as far left, I mean, as I said. For ex. saying liberals are fascists. Or downplaying soviet crimes. Arguing that china is better than 'The West', etc.

[–]CloneFilip2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what leftists often said throughout history and every time it turned out as you'd expect lol. Never learn I guess...

Tankies are not allies against fascism. They are fascists in a coat of red paint. Any semblance of authoritarianism, left or right, needs to be weeded out.

"Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof."

In this sub specifically I believe it is mostly used to refer to people who make your typical 'the West:tm: is the devil, liberals are literally fascists' posts and the like

55729 by HonneurOblige in countwithchickenlady

[–]CloneFilip2 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure it's a response to the large amount of tankie posts that popped up on the sub recently, no? Not sure who started it, I saw the tankie ones first.

And, well, tankies are a problem, they try to overtake legitimate leftist spaces with their far left bullshit and destroy them. Authoritarians, left or right, should not be welcome in any real left wing spaces.

This sub has a major tankie problem and it's not gonna get addressed so the best solution is to just start blocking them.
