    Extremely important: teach them the word “tankie”. Once they start using it the exact same way “leftists” use it the “leftists” will literally shit themselves, cry, and then be forced to spend a few years inventing a new word for anyone they find insufferable.

    Once they invent another word, we can teach that to the right too. Rinse and repeat and the “leftists” and right will be too busy fighting each other to fight us.

    Edit: /s

      Dumb idea from a closed minded person Also, the fight has to occur between the workers class and the capitalists class. E’se you’re just a tool of capitalism

        Idk why you’re down voted, I think you’re right. Also aren’t tankies part of the left, leftist infighting aside?

        Edit: To clarify, giving them a word that makes leftist infighting seem silly seems, pointless. The only people on the left I know of that use the word tankie literally don’t even try to understand the other side. It’s not taking a word away from them that’s going to stop it. It’s by approaching every conversation with humility, and explaining them the theory they so clearly lack. If even so they think you’re wrong (and bring arguments, ofc), and you can’t defend using theory, then maybe they’re right? I don’t understand, isn’t this the point of the whole reading part everyone agrees we should do?

          Well, I may not have grasp the tone of your comment and/or understood it fully so could be on me. What does /s mean?

            It’s a “sarcasm” symbol, but it basically boils down to “just joking around”. Spanish speakers also use (?) For the same purpose
