Reminds me of terfs complaining about right wingers popping up in their communities
“Vaush is a pedophile”, “Radical Liberal Vaush”, “Vaush is a transphobe”, are just some of the shit takes from victims of Vaush Derangement Syndrome are incapable of not spewing on a regular basis. This is a place to mock such dipshits and, hopefully, free them from the shackles of VDS.
The folks at r/Enough_VDS_Spam surely sound like reasonable people :stalin-stressed:
The amount of little vaushites I’ve seen seriously say “we need to reeducate tankies” while talking about left unity is sickening. Little Himmler Jr. twerps
“Tankies are authoritarian, which is basically fascism, so we should round them up and re-educate them all” is certainly a take.
Just pissing in the wind. Shit like this is what you say when you have absolutely no power to shape public policy, no real input into discourse, and no audience except the increasingly cynical and frustrated fellow-burnouts who are desperately looking for social cohesion.
They’re angry at “Tankies” because they’ve been told “You can get what you want, except there’s a Tankie standing in your way” over and over again, to the point where they seriously believe it. Tankie doesn’t mean anything to them, except “Obstructionist”.
What is it with Reddit leftists constantly feeling like they have to preemptively apologize for “tankies”?
In the neurotic oscillation between the poles of their dualistic identity, RadLibs draw their authority from the disavowal of the figure(s) of violence and terror which supposedly stain our collective ideals for a new set of social organizations and relations to constitute our world, the exemplar of course being Stalin. This inevitably leads to the contradiction (although what is more contradictory than the mere name, Radical Liberal?) wherein the necessary disavowal of the crimes of Stalin (and Mao, the USSR, PRC…) becomes the grounds they must incessantly reconstitute in positing their claims - “here is our emancipatory vision for societal change which, unlike the totalitarian Tankie’s, can avoid the pitfalls of revolutionary terror…” - the ghost of Stalin is thus fated to forever haunt them, despite, or rather because of, their neurotic clinging to a possibility of a return to purity from before our original sin. That’s why Lenin Marx insisted that we not make excuses for our terror.

That was Marx though? Or is this a copypasta
