          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.

          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.
