        Fun fact: you can be opposed to capitalism without being a communist.

        You [tankies] maybe opposed to capitalism, but you’re still in favor of the coercive control of individuals by a state-level entity. That’s just another flavor of authoritarianism.

          You can be a communist without being a tankie.

          I’m a Libertarian Communist. Small groups of people helping each other with a small government in terms of social control.

          A gobwnrmwnt sole job should be to help those that need of, not control peoples day to day lives.

            That’s closer to anarchism then communism. Communism, as it’s generally developed, has a central state authority.

            Personally, I see the existence of a state and individual liberties as always under tension. You can’t have a state without some infringement on individual expressions. But some restriction on individual expression is necessary for a functioning society. The question is what infringements and under what circumstances are acceptable.

        You’re just licking a different boot. All forms of hierarchy need to be abolished. State and capitalist. You don’t advocate for workers, all you advocate for is state control.
