Let me guess, you didn’t vote in 2024, and bitched about Democrats the entire time. How’s the Trump regime working out for you kreskin?

You’re a chump that thinks the Democrats are out to attack progressives. Maybe don’t be an uneducated dork.

almost universally want authoritarianism and dictatorships? those are far right positions

These are both far right and far left positions. That’s what I’m saying.

The left tends to want some flavour of socialist democracy.

Yes, the center-left wants this. The far-left wants revolutions and purity tests, burning down the system, and leaving minorities to die and fend for themselves.

What far right labels as far left

Why would you depend on the far right for any kind of accurate definition? Bernie is not far left in reality. He is center left.

In one notoriously hard class, my professor would post practice exams from previous years.

It turned out he also basically reused exam questions from previous years, so doing these practice exams basically landed me a perfect score in a class where the exam average usually hovered around 60%.

My peers, who refused to do the practice exams, even after I repeatedly told them of their existence and using them as my study method, accused me of cheating because I practiced using the practice exams the teacher posted with the explicit purpose of having us practice with them.

I think they were just mad I ruined the curve.

Idk, the number of 60-80 year olds on my gay fetish apps sliding into my DMs seem to contradict this “lack of boomer LBGTQ” idea.

Yes pro authoritarian far left that’s basically communism.

I’d say it’s the stages before communism. When the authoritarians have to take all the power to give it to the people. The problem is that is impossible. Once the authoritians have taken all the power, they never give it up. So real communism doesn’t exist and can never exist because it always requires some type of revolution and central organization after the effects of the revolution. And that central power will never give up that power.

So just because they haven’t reached “true” communism doesn’t mean they are all of a sudden now on the “far-right”.

Today’s tankies are still considered far-left.

You can be both pro-authoritarian and far left. In fact, that’s kind of the definition of far left.

Tankies have almost nothing in common with the far left

This doesn’t make sense because tankies are the far left. What you’re thinking of as far left is actually center left.

They aren’t on the political spectrum at all because they don’t believe in any kind of governance.

I keep seeing this image repeated on Lemmy but I don’t buy it. It’s just an attempt for leftists to distance themselves from tankies. If you’re left but not a tankie, you are just center-left. Only tankies are far-left

No. It’s their job to make money. If they don’t think you’ll make them money they won’t waste resources on you.

But you probably made lots of money. :)

You can be a master with 30 years experience in something like pottery, but you will make less money than an amateur who started doing pottery this year who has even a moderate Instagram following if you don’t have any social media presence.

You have to whore yourself to the masses if you want to make money in art or literature.

Just look at ML or Hexbear right here on Lemmy. The tankies love Putin and Xi. Horseshoe is a law not a theory.

Hell they assasinate their own regularly.

What? But I’m the main character. Everything is about me personally.

Touchè.

🙄

Lol half? I’d say about a 20-80 split.
