The lack of any cohesion or basic agreement on terms on MWoG posts is always a bit funny to me. You get a few confused progressives, staunch defenders of liberalism, and the regular conservatives, all in one place bound by the core of “Marxism bad.” The ones who have dipped thier toes into Marxist theory but still believe everything the US State Department tells them about AES end up fighting the ones that could not care less about either, the posts become more about fighting each other than what they are supposedly trying to talk about.
I know that last bit on confrontation in the comments isn’t unique to MWoG by any stretch, but the utter lack of coherent understanding of Marxism means every conversation is utterly surface level and devoid of meaningful conversation. It’s the blind leading the blind.
It’s pretty interesting reading a bunch of people at completely different stages of their political journey argue against each other. Their one commonality is mostly completely making up what we believe in and not liking China and the USSR.
Exactly! There are those that fully support bog-standard liberalism side by side with people who have moved beyond that, but only just. It’s one of those cases where they are often both wrong, or one is right for the wrong reasons, etc.

Tankies just means whatever they currently arent. Its not about us but about what they are not.
Just like orientalism isnt about the people of the orient, but about what the west wants itself not to be.
Ask ten anti-communists what a tankie is, and you’ll get at least twelve different answers lol

Radlib brunch-time.
Absolutely, it’s deeply unserious.
What is MWoG
Meanwhile On Grad, an anticommunist drama community. It’s not worth visiting.
Ohhhhh, I remember that place. Blocked them long ago
Autoblocked on Lemmy.ml, haha.
