If your first instinct as a westerner is to criticize and lecture 3rd world communist movements, instead of learning from their successes, then you have internalized the patronizing arrogance of the colonial system you claim to oppose.

I'm so glad I don't let lemmy.nazi federate to my server lol
The current McCarthyite tactic is to use "tankie" and "authoritarian" as the code-words for anyone who dares to oppose US / NATO hegemony and align themselves with the anti-colonial projects. Only the US-aligned countries are allowed to be "authentic marxists", and everyone else is labeled a tankie.
These people have no concept that everyone from Paul Robeson to even MLK was called a "dirty commie", or that the US is drone bombing like 8 countries in the middle east and north africa as we speak.
Fuck dronies.
to most modern "leftists" olof palme would be a tankie.
I'm glad I'm on db0 and can still see posts from .ml, hexbear, and .world.
I can get a gauge of what people from all servers are saying, and I'm finding the gist that what you're saying is correct.
Would have been bad enough to specifically name Engels, but Lenin? hahaha oh wow
