You are a fucking fool. You're telling the person who developed one of the best leftist reading lists out there (one that I doubt you've read a single book on it), the person who hosts the community reading group for Das Kapital, that they should "learn to read." picard
It's even more rich considering everything you've written is dripping with pretentious debate pervert cringe ("lOgIcAl fAlLaCiEs!" oh my god, stfu nerd stalin-stressed), yet you don't even know what the words you're using mean. Example: "it exudes some very poor ideologies" cringe

Like the rest of us here, Cowbee knows what the fuck the word "tankie" means. We even know its history, originating as a term that some ultras used to deride specifically British communists who supported the Soviet's quelling of the 1956 anticommunist color revolution in Hungary. We are well aware of how it has transformed from that into a word used to demean anyone who recognizes Stalin as having been a pretty damn good leader or the DPRK as being the commendable bastion of anti-imperialism that they are, and from there to mean anyone on the left who is "bad." Seriously, I've seen anarchists called "tankies" for not sufficiently hating Putin. It is now meaningless drivel.

That said, I also personally am fine being labeled a tankie. It's literally no different than some drooling fucking chud calling me "woke" as if that's supposed to offend me. Like "woke," the word tankie is meant to be an insult, but everything the dipshit using it thinks is bad is in fact quite the opposite. In other words, anyone who uses it seriously is in fact a deeply unserious person. Your nonsensical comparison of it to a confederate flag (I mean really, wtf are you even talking about?) is far more insulting than the word itself.

If you think you are a leftist, you are in desperate need of education.
