Anti-Leninists, what is something you'd like to tell tankies that we actually never heard? (lemmygrad.ml)

Tankie is a broad term. Are u just an idealist commie or do u legitimately support genocidal regimes?

I would like you to look into the commonalities in teaching methods between your beliefs/community, religion, neo Nazis, and ideological indoctrination in general. Look at the classic applications such as redefining meanings of words, the complete denial of descenting opinions simply because they are descenting, the belief in something greater than oneself etc etc.

I would like you to write down your most fundamental beliefs then right down your best argument for those beliefs then I want you to write you best argument to disprove that belief.

I would like you to come up with as many contradictions within your own ideology as possible without rationalising that contradictory belief to yourself.

I'd like u to read nineteen eighty four and then write an argument how the practice's of big brother have been used to indoctrinate you. Then right an argument against that argument.

I'm not here to tell you how to live or what to think I'd just like you to legitimately challenge your own thoughts to the best of your ability.

Good luck on your journey to becoming a free thinker.

Meh if you want a good critique of the Bolsheviks by somebody who actually was an old Bolshevik check out the book We instead.
