the US infiltrates leftist groups to sow division, to prevent them from making progress and acting as wreckers.

tankies redirect leftist energy away from organizing in a way that would be effective, and instead towards supporting imperialism of a different color

i believe that this is probably supported by state actors, likely including the CIA

just my little conspiracy theory. it doesn't really matter if its true or not, the fact remains that tankies are fucking dipshits and that socialism shouldn't be judged by a minority of loud dipshits
