    You have one thing right. I know what tankies think it means and I know what it actually means.

    What it actually means: The “modernization” of Marxism, the “updating” of the original invariant communist program of the working class from Marx to Lenin.

    What tankies, the modernizers, think it means: going against “Marxism-Leninism”, the Soviet State capitalist ideology created by Stalin that has nothing to do with either Marx nor Lenin.

    I’m honestly giving people here to much credit by calling them Stalinists. In reality the Stalinists are gone and there’s nothing left of them but goofballs, mostly teenagers, aping their phraseology and aesthetic.

    Placing Russian communism

    Where’s your “Russian communism” now? Stalinism is dead, irrelevant current stillborn from the rotting corpse of the third international and and Russia doesn’t pretend to be communist anymore in case you haven’t noticed. Don’t let that get in the way of your LARP though.

    and Nazi-fascism on the same moral plane to the extent that both would be totalitarian

    Who said anything about “morals” or “totalitarianism”? I certainly didn’t. The Stalinist errors and its distortions of Marxism are graver than moralist whinging about totalitarian states.

    at best is superficiality, at worst it is pacifism. Whoever insists on that comparison can be considered a democrat, but in truth and deep down in his heart he is already a fascist, and of course he will only fight fascism in an apparent and hypocritical way while he leaves all his hatred for communism

    Stalinists and their million derivatives, who applaud fully developed capitalist regimes, are more democrat than democrats are. What they really desire is not communism but an idealistic state-form of capitalism - a petty bourgeois shopkeeper’s fantasy world where Capital has finally been “tamed”. They don’t understand capitalism or fascism in the least and the ones who stumble into power only ever end up playing into the hands of global Capital and against the international working class.

    Read Marx and stop being a tankie, you meatball.
