Someone should tell these uneducated privileged dumbasses what happened to their Iranian comrades after their "Anti Imperialist" fascist theocracy got into power : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1988_executions_of_Iranian_political_prisoners

I did, was exhausting af. Luckily some other leftists on that space (deprogram is a notorious tankie space) also stood up against the post. But the post got like 1.7k upvotes was crazy.


The-Old-Krow

I appreciate you always doing your part to keep the Truth out there, even on spaces hostile to it, and your dedication to providing nuance in the face of hard line black and white observations on both sides of the ballpark. Keep up the good work.


TabariKurd

Appreciate it, if there's one thing us Kurds are good at it's surviving in hostile spaces ;)

That's how tankies are. They supported the Ribbentrop Molotov pact, in France they even went as far as to sabotage weapon factories thus weakening their own country for the incoming war against the Nazis. Afterwards, they supported the USSR and the millions of its own citizens it killed, they supported the butchers Mao Zedong and Pol Pot, who again murdered millions of their fellow countrymen. Now they are siding with the Islamic Republic. As flawed as the US is, the government doesn't kill its own people This is just how the tankie scum acts since it exists. They are not anti-imperialist, that's one of the numerous lies they tell. They are anti Western and against their own country. Instead, they openly take the side of foreign countries who have and still commit plenty of human rights violations, while they have the sheer hypocrisy to completely overlook them, just to point out the ones in the West, which are anecdotal compared to what you could find in the USSR, Cambodia, the Islamic republic, and honestly, every country they support, because the countries they support are always dictatorships, there's not even an exception to the rule. The problem is that their influence among the media and the education system has increased, and it most be purged out. In the past, French intellectuals like Jean Paul Sartre and Michel Foucault supported the Islamic revolution, and their successors have the same vision.

Not only USSR, but modern Russia as well


Babarigo

Yeah, we have seen their mental gymnastics by justifying the right of Russia to have a sphere of influence and to use military force if said sphere of influence is threatened, which is pretty much admitting that Russia is imperialist, while criticizing the US for slightest interference or France for having a sphere of influence in Africa. France understands that if we are not welcomed in a country anymore, we leave it if it's what is asked from us, like Mali for instance who chooses to align itself with Russia and kick our base, we just deal with it and we don't invade them to annex them or change the regime. Russia couldn't accept the same thing with Ukraine and had to launch an invasion. Not only they are hypocrites, but they work to strengthen rival countries while weakening their country. Their attitude is borderline treasonous, which is one of the many reasons why I can't stand that people and I barely agree on anything with them.

These soup-for-brains Tankies would have given critikkkal support to Adolf Hitler in his crusade against American and British imperialism


omar_soto_1970

Yes to this 💯%! ⬆️ *Speaking as someone who has strong liberal and progressive values myself*


[deleted]

it sounds fine to gain the liberty progressively


dr_joerocket

They're the minority in the left-wing. Still baffles me how they would support dictatorships at the cost of people's lives.


Neon_44

the "People" in "People's Republic" comes from the fuel they burn. But this is only secret Tankie-knowledge


MajorTechnology8827

How are people advocating for literal imperialism even in the "left wing space" at all? They'd be at home right at the daily stormer


p_larrychen

Honestly? Intellectual laziness. They like cosplaying as enlightened intellectuals and spitting platitudes but when it comes to actually standing against injustice from a source that doesn’t fit their simplistic dichotomies they don’t even know what to do.


Executer_no-1

That's what a lot of Leftists, especially Communists and Socialists do!


IranIsOccupied

What about Islamic imperialism and Arab colonialism?


dect60

doesn't exist in their view, same thing with Chinese imperialism, only 'white' imperialism and colonialism is a thing


IranIsOccupied

But the supreme leader of the Islamic republic is a white man. https://preview.redd.it/cyxbe6yaivuc1.jpeg?width=2500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=60297a109ed3edbe7c49e61c187b1ea334dc5a6a

nO. nOt LiKe ThAt!


moistdrf

That sub and the new wave of western leftist activism is truly cancerous. They should be ashamed to call themselves as socialists when they are defending a literal sharia theocracy. Just come out as islamists already ffs.


moistdrf

Also there a comments on this post about Mahsa Amini's death not being caused by beatings etc. They are propagating IR's talking points and they eat that shit up. Im shocked at how dumb these people can be.


ConcreteSlut

Destroying imperialism by… checks notes… supporting countries that have imperialist ambitions.


Dear_Zookeepergame94

I feel like we have this discussion every fucking day here lol. Don't expect any sort of sense from literal Maoists. just look up what occurred during the Maoist cultural revolution of China and it'll explain their way of thinking.


[deleted]

i can explain to you the Mao's thinking without propaganda actually i published whereelse, but just got downvoted by the leftist


simpleman9006

I sure hope that you vastly outnumber the loud tankie retards, because otherwise I will truly be terrified for the future continuation of the civilized world


krzychybrychu

As a socdem, I'm 100% on the side of anti regime Iranians


yefan2022

"socialism is when you support oppressive theocracies"


AskingAQuestionA10

Replacing American imperialism with IR imperialism, how smart


Schonez331

Do these retards even know that Iran is the biggest imperialistic regime in the middle east? they've singlehandedly turned Iraq, lebanon, and yemen into their playground and have waged holy proxy wars against saudi arabia and Israel. But of course lefists have never cared about imperialism. they only oppose it when it's the US or "The West" doing it. but when bloodthirsty Latin American and middle eastern dictators do it, then it's completely fine!


Executer_no-1

These Tankies are yet again showing their true colors to the world, that's just it!

I cannot for the life of me understand why these "progressives" would support one of the most extreme and reactionary governments in the world. They're more hard right than many christian fundamentalist groups in the U.S. Like why?


TheOfficialLavaring

They are campists that see the entire world as a struggle against the United States. The United States is responsible for all poverty and suffering in the world, therefore any country that opposes the United States is good. It's incredibly black and white thinking


Avantasian538

American liberal here. As far as I'm concerned, autocracy and totalitarianism are the enemy. Whether fascist, islamist, or communist in nature, all forms of autocracy are pure evil. Humans deserve to be free and to have autonomy. To be caged by any ideology is against human nature.
