Seems like a caricature rather than someone that's actually around.

I really don't see anyone of consequence on lemmy being like 'no Putin is good actually.'

One example, I was reading a hexbear (allegedly tankie central) thread a while back where they were shitting on the CPRF for receiving praise from Putin for their support of the SMO. (ie saying that they were losers that lenin would have had shot, and that they're not communist)

Can you elaborate? has tankie been reduced to pejorative shorthand for 'isn't repeating the approved narrative'

Oh I see, it is I who have to “welcome a different option”.

reread my comment, not what I said. Maybe if you're less quick to call people tankies you might not get called a liberal in response.

I consider a workers dictatorship to be a lesser evil compared to the dictatorship of capital we live in currently.

I also does not know what that has to do with anarchism?

To put it simply, anarchists want to abolish hierarchy, communists want to abolish private property. They overlap when you want both. Liberals tend to oppose dismantling both of those things.

you have been pretty anti-communist every time we've intracted, on top of calling me a tankie. not surprised you're having trouble with people welcoming your different opinion

It was the first lemmy account I set up and I haven't bothered to change it! I had figured the developer instance would get updates the fastest. I like that it can access hexbear db0 and blahaj and I haven't run into any issues beyond the occasional sectarian post.

I'm not a fan of the infighting either. It's a very online kind of tribalism. I'm pretty active in anarchist organizing where I live and routinely have people from all sorts of tendencies showing up to help out without it devolving into a struggle session over factional infighting from a hundred years ago.

Just from the time I've spent here it seems like it's specifically the people occupying the centrist liberal positions who are most invested in fostering a culture of leftist infighting

Как я могла забыть про стиль!

There's a lot to the troika, it's been associated with Russia for centuries. Literally means 'a group of three'.

The configuration of two horses galloping with one horse trotting in the middle allowed for high speeds across vast distances and is commonly referenced in russian literature, particularly authors like Pushkin, Gogol, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, etc.

It's also pretty associated with the trinity (troitsa). Triplicity is a major feature of Russian folklore and culture in general; the three brothers, the three trials, three roads, three kisses, etc.

For revolutionaries it was the smallest organizing unit for a number of reasons and was present in both early anarchist and bolshevik cells. Some advantages were that it was agile, hard to infiltrate, and doesn't need a leader, rather a shared direction. In many ways an anti-hierarchical organizing pattern.

In the Stalin era it got a bit more of a sinister connotation as a 'troika' would be the group of officials signing off on sentences.

For a while now there's been a group of NAFO-adjacent shit-stirrers obsessing over the malign influence of the so-called 'tankie triad' which is lemmy.ml, lemmygrad.ml, hexbear.net. This style of posting has been dubbed 'feudposting', and I'm parodying it in the OP.

The joke I am making is that if you're going for ominous names the 'tankie troika' is way more menacing and russian. I made this meme taking that bit to its ridiculous conclusion.

Who?

They used to systematically repost everything posted to memes@lemmy.ml to .world due to their raging hatred of the tankie triad

US propaganda doesn't exist, idk what you're talking about. It's just russian botlords controlling everything

"I have to admit, I'm always so impressed by Soviet propaganda. You really know how to get people worked up," the CIA agent says.

"Thank you," the KGB agent says. "We do our best but truly, it's nothing compared to American propaganda. Your people believe everything your state media tells them."

The CIA agent drops his drink in shock and disgust. "Thank you friend, but you must be confused... There's no propaganda in America."
