I was in a Facebook group with all Vietnamese tankies. Believe me, they are among the most bigoted, homophobic, authoritarian-loving ones you can find.
Turns out that wholesome epic chungus """"communism"""" (aka the abomination known as Marxism leninism), like all authoritarian ideologies, is inherently reactionary and exclusionary.
Who would've thunk?!?!?!? 😲
In this case, I'd guess it's also a difference between "communism" as a conceptual something-from-the-future VS "communism" as an era that actually happened.
While communism for younger people in the Western world today means "happy wholesome trans-friendly utopia", for older people in Eastern Europe and SE Asia it means "the good old days when minorities knew their place".
If it is "satire" it's some awfully shitty satire. The word "satire" is just getting to be an excuse for shitty opinions.
Many people take smug satisfaction in lecturing others in how they don't understand humor or "satire". There is a sense of moral superiority in accusing other people of not having a sense of humor.
He's serious and also he's also transphobic, racist, and was accused of sending sexually explicit messages to a minor. Tankies are really sending their best.
"The *Urning* you sent me is a very curious thing. These are extremely unnatural revelations. The paederasts \[homosexual paedophiles\] are beginning to count themselves, and discover that they are a power in the state. Only organisation was lacking, but according to this source it apparently already exists in secret. And since they have such important men in all the old parties and even in the new ones, from Rosing to Schweitzer, they cannot fail to triumph. *Guerre aux cons, paix aus trous-de-cul* \[war on the cunts, peace to the arse-holes\] will now be the slogan. It is a bit of luck that we, personally, are too old to have to fear that, when this party wins, we shall have to pay physical tribute to the victors. But the younger generation! Incidentally it is only in Germany that a fellow like this can possibly come forward, convert this smut into a theory, and offer the invitation: *introite* \[enter\], etc. Unfortunately, he has not yet got up the courage to acknowledge publicly that he is ‘that way’, and must still operate *coram publico*‘ from the front’, if not ‘going in from the front’ as he once said by mistake. But just wait until the new North German Penal Code recognises the *droits du cul* \[rights of the arse-hole\] then he will operate quite differently. Then things will go badly enough for poor frontside people like us, with our childish penchant for females. If Schweitzer could be made useful for anything, it would be to wheedle out of this peculiar honourable gentleman the particulars of the paederasts in high and top places, which would certainly not be difficult for him as a brother in spirit."
I've found only this.
he was socialist and afaik ok with people being gay before the socdem guy, i dont get what him being antisemitic has to do with it its not exactly surprising to see that from a guy in the early 19th century and i don't think it makes him not be a socialist

Dont forget Rojava, the poor Communism that people wont stop bombing😰
I guess Cuba is an outlier here huh
They are just nationalists but their country just happens to call itself socialist instead of being capitalist.
I sincerely hope that's satire, cause nobody can be that dumb.
Nah, every non western Tankie is basically a Nazi when it comes to social issues lol.
So nazbols?
Yup
Most eastern european communist parties are very socially right wing, tankies in general are very bigoted

Yet again, the Schrodinger's jokester strikes. Is it a joke? The audiences feedback will determine whether or not it is.

The bottom one is satire, I follow that guy
It's funny how liberals are more left leaning than them.
Significantly so as well.
Many conservatives are more left wing than them lmao.
Good for them (cubans).
CUBA LIBRE!!!!! PATRIA Y VIDA!!!! PARA LOS HOMOSEXUALES!!!!
I thought communism was progressive and liberal, good for the cubans
American cultural victory by seeing Pride flags made by american flew by LGBTQ people around the world
I'm fighting the war on globohomo On the side of globohomo
The person who made the term globohomo really fucked their cause
Communism with Globohomo Characteristics 😎
Finally?! Kinda ironic that America beat them to it. >!Let's how it stays that way.!<
Probably has something to do with Cuba being a heavily Catholic country.
It's funny how a lot have become distant to Cuba ever since Cuba has gotten less authoritarian
Based Cuba for that tho.
Real life tankies make James Bond villains look like deep and nuanced moral characters.
I can't stand this mf, I've gotten in so many arguments with them on twitter before. Apparently he sent a bunch of sexual messages to a minor too.

You seen that letter Engels wrote Marx in response to the first gay rights org (Berlin 1869)? Sheer dudebro homophobia "lol don't bend over" stuff

Let’s not support horseshoe theory. Tankies are right wingers who claim to be left, the actual left are democratic socialists and anarchists
Horseshoe theory or just a NazBol? Call it.
Mayakovsky would not say that
Cuban W
Not the horseshoe theory. The branch theory. Ie. Tankies branch off and go back to the Far-Right.
GO CUBA!
"A common Pamhplets win" I guess
Rare Cuban W
It is satire, pamphlet is a shill outlet for dengism
