This right here. The problem is tankies don’t like to admit there’s other philosophies WITHIN communism (council communism, anarcho-communism (which are basically the same fucking thing but no one realizes cause they only read the first page of das Kapital and nothing else)).

I should also distinguish between tankies and MLs before this instance dogpiles me calling me a liberal. Literally every ML I’ve met in real life understands the theory behind anarchism and I’ve had some great talks with them. It’s just this theory of leaderlessness comes off shaky to most. Meanwhile online ML who do no organizing, attend no protests and spend all their lives complaining online are the ones thinking this meme is the most hilarious shit. I believe this kind of behaviour to be exclusively online.
