Everything you ever wanted to know about tankies, but were afraid to ask, because they post a pig shitting on its giant balls whenever you do

- Thank you so much for the links. Will definitely read them, especially about the ICP. It’s difficult to glean the truth from biased reporting. I wish I had started this reading journey in my 20’s. Are there any left comm, anarchist or internationalist left communities on Lemmy that you could recommend?
  Edit: That ICP site is a goldmine. The Lions theses is dense. Thanks.
Good read.
I started to get into theory only recently, so I am kinda just happy that I was able to understand this at all (:
- Me too. I didn’t understand all the references because I don’t know the history. I read it twice, and still didn’t know who CLR James was, now I do. Sometimes it feels like I could read for months, and still not have a grasp of it all.
wow, I was expecting an edited title but that's the actual name of the article. not what I expected on a pro-commie website
- Yeah I wouldn’t alter the headline. I don’t want to get in that habit. Just trying to learn about socialism as objectively as I can.
They didn't answer my question of, do you have a mental illness or did you just never go to school to understand who humans are? Any group of humans larger than 100 people can not function in the manner they suggest.
- Not sure what you’re referencing, is it in the article?
  
  Article? Which article? This article? I'm not sure what you're referring to.
