Anti-capitalist ≠ tankie
In fact Communist ≠ tankie
Tankies are specifically defenders of Marxist-Leninist communism and their one party state rule (which is ironically not communism, it's Stalinism which is a form of autocratic socialism)
Sure, but
So I operate on the assumption that anticapitalist people on Lemmy are tankies. It's not true in all cases ofc, but without more info, I think that's a safe default.
That dude calling my post "bullshit romanticism of capitalism" gives a bit more confidence that they're a tankie with a strong case of grassphobia.
Great example of oversimplification and reaching for conclusions that reinforce your bias. An effective way to shield yourself from valid criticism or any self reflection is to automatically discredit the person who brings it to your attention, whether its true or not is of little importance right?
Lemmy is not full of tankies, yours truly a communist.
And your post was free market romanticism.
Sure, but
So I operate on the assumption that German people on Lemmy are Fascists. It’s not true in all cases ofc, but without more info, I think that’s a safe default.
And before you call my flawless reasoning stupid... I don't really have anything to say.
Beer does not equate to Germans, rather Germans equate to Beer. If we fix that error, then it doesn't fit the original pattern:
That would only work if
Beer == Fascists, which of course is not true.Also, wrong does not equal stupid, rather stupid equals wrong. Which is to say, you comment is wrong, but not necessarily stupid.
