Fed jacketed? What's that?

I can't tell if this is like the federal government coming for you or some fediverse thing.

Since you say "self described" do you not consider them to be proles? And why did you specify "subsistence wage?"

Thinking that you can be "progressive" or "left" while writing off everything that is anti-US/anti-west as tankie

what a crazy straw man… no, that’s not why we call people tankies

that’s not fair, tbf.
if they were sincere, constantly attacking people and accusing literally everyone who disagrees with them of being a shitlib is very very counter to the cause of legitimate communists.
Communism is of course a collective movement… it requires unity, and out of the majority political groups: liberals are the closest to communists.
In fact, i would argue that in their hearts, most people who identify as a liberal are not aligned with actual liberalism….
they have been going out of their way to make any leftist space toxic to liberals… to make any communist space toxic to communists.
when hxbr was on reddit, they brigaded and harassed leftists only…
and they definitely use a lot of sock puppets and run campaigns to manipulate and fuck up forums like this.
many people are stupid enough to be tankies, but i think the vast majority are completely fake.
they’re extremely hostile towards people who genuinely are interested in communism and come there to learn and engage… extremely extremely hostile.
they are not looking for community, they are seeking to destroy communities and make communism look as bad as possible.
in short: tankies are fake as fuck and a psyop

that’s exactly why i think they’re play acting.
as a group they’re a lot of things but not actually stupid… yet they profess this deep admiration and respect for authoritarian dictatorships… exactly what liberals use as examples of “why communism doesn’t work”.

but like you say, they weren’t communist countries. and these imposters insist over and over and over again that china, russia, and the dprk are the pinnacles of communism.

they derail every online community earnestly talking about communist ideas, and drown out legitimate talk with bullshit about how stalin was great and it’s all propaganda that he killed more people than hitler… never ending purity tests and just being as mean as possible to anyone curious about it.

i don’t think conservatives are as afraid of communism as the liberal establishment is, because actual democrat voters are much closer to communists than they realize.

that’s not how i’ve drawn this conclusion
