db0 and Unruffled have both been banned for reactionary behavior and, in the case of the former, DM harassment.
Due to these irreconcilable differences we thought it only right to allow the community to weigh in on defederating immediately.
According to this person “tankie” is anyone that criticizes the privilege of white westerners in the imperial core who have been privileged and comfortable their entire lives off of the backs of colonized people.

As always, use to vote for federation and to vote for defederation.
excellent comment. Anti-tankie leftists would be wise to listen to what is being said by scholars of socialism and history from outside the western liberal/libleft bubble, because many of the things they get angry at us for are simply non-controversial to almost anyone in the world who isn’t in that bubble. Even if they don’t agree with us on everything, everyone who fights for a better world should be broadly on the same side. (and that isn’t the side of Israel, NATO, etc.)
People protesting the US refusing to gtfo of Burkina Faso were waving Russian and North Korean flags. Anti-tankie leftists are just imperial core crackers with a huge white savior complex who think people of color should grovel on their knees for being saved by people of NATO.
