"Debate me!"
No, get a better hobby.
Debate favours the person who is the most bombastic, most confident, and most uncompromising. Its not about whether your idea is correct, its about how well you sound.

Its funny. I remember when the NPA etc were always held highly by ML's, and then when it was revealed they are Maoists who oppose China (which they pretty much always have been) suddenly they must instantly become CIA funded and 'Jungle Trots'.
"Maoist" brainrot:
- Thinking CIA funded jungle dwelling terrorists are real Communists
- Big country always bad
- Smol country always good

Your founding fathers were slave owners and bourgies who wanted to rule a continent. There's nothing mystical or magical about them, 6% of settlers gained 'representation' after the revolution , they just took advantage of an opportunity at hand.

Corbyn didn't lose because he was too far left, he lost because the Tories (and blairites) were visibly scared of him and pulled out everything they could stop a rise of Social Democracy, and it worked.
If this don't show the impoverishness of Parlimentary politics nothing will.

"If you replace the words 'Class' with 'Race' is shows how similar the left and right are"
Hey, if you replace all the times Martin Luther King says 'Freedom' with 'KILL THE JEWS' it showcases how similar White and Black power are.

When people go "So what if Cuba has free healthcare? So do we!"
The difference here is Britain financed the NHS through gutting Malaysia of its tin and copper.
Cuba didn't and has more Doctors than any other country.

Haha! Socialism is when you don't have food!
When there is evidently tonnes of food:
Look at the lack of variety!

This is the fanciest “supermarket” in Havana.

I was also an Anarchist when I was younger, I then later aligned with Marxism-Leninism because I realised they were 'right' about everything...
After a while I realised that the Anarchists were right all along.
A lot of you guys are not gonna wanna hear this but I stopped being an anarchist after high school bc the more research I did, the more I realized the people I called “tankies” had been historically right about like everything. I just hadn’t done enough research yet to know it.

Socialists who go back to Liberalism/Conservatism is an interesting topic. I don't think "They never were Socialists" is good enough of a reason but it is odd if you understood class struggle only to go "Nah its all good".
Any theories?

You have to response to the critiques. The critiques are meant to be engaged with, they're still there regardless of what you think.
Saying "Ehh you just critique" is not the win you think it is.

Because 'Breadtube' is a controversial term, let's talk instead about the behaviors and trends people are criticising when they say it, as best I can guess:
Money
Brands
Individualism
Lack of radicalism
Dilution

Remember when PSL coopted the death of Aaron Bushnell to boost their clout? And then their Salt Lake chapter barged their way to the stage of a vigil to plug their next action and Claudia...?
some weird anarchists were handing out anti-PSL flyers at the rally today lol. It was 17 degrees outside and the sidewalk is covered with weapons grade ice lmao. I admire their commitment to sectarianism lol.

One of many reasons I turned away from ML alignment was precisely having to think about questions like this.
Imagine trying to make the case that the Stasi, AVH, or Sigurimi serve the people.

You get can get fussy over the use of the word all you like.
The more fruitful question is to ask why there exist socialists dogmatically upholding party lines? Or revering dictators based on their allegiance? Or making apologia for things that we know are observably false?
“Tankie” is quite literally the anti-communist left’s version of “woke.” A nebulous, meaningless term those without critical analysis throw out when their ideology is threatened.

Could it be... Fear? Poverty? Repression!?
No. They said they just fancied a change, they have little to nothing against the government and still love Cuba.

I think people who adhere to USSR apologia on things like Holodomor and Katyn would find it useful to go ask an average Turk about Armenians. Or a Serb about the Bosnian war.
