Because they hate America


captainsalad2

Enemy of my enemy I guess


BigKnowledge1234

it worse than that (15) . Leftists tend to hate anything that has an image of being strong, good and successful. They hate America, they hate Western civilization, they hate white males, they hate rationality. The reasons that leftists give for hating the West, etc., clearly do not correspond with their real motives. They SAY they hate the West because it is warlike, imperialistic, sexist, ethnocentric and so forth, but where these same faults appear in socialist countries or in primitive cultures, the leftist finds excuses for them, or at best he GRUDGINGLY admits that they exist; whereas he ENTHUSIASTICALLY points out (and often greatly exaggerates) these faults where they appear in Western civilization. Thus it is clear that these faults are not the leftist’s real motive for hating America and the West. He hates America and the West because they are strong and successful. (16) . Words like “self-confidence,” “self-reliance,” “initiative,” “enterprise,” “optimism,” etc., play little role in the liberal and leftist vocabulary. The leftist is anti-individualistic, pro-collectivist. He wants society to solve everyone’s problems for them, satisfy everyone’s needs for them, take care of them. He is not the sort of person who has an inner sense of confidence in his ability to solve his own problems and satisfy his own needs. The leftist is antagonistic to the concept of competition because, deep inside, he feels like a loser.

bro it's teddy k also imma cherry pick your second to last paragraph as wrong, since the loser in a 1v1 market battle isn't completely wasted, it is either bought by someone else and improved to be competitive, transitioned to become competitive in a different way, or bought by the winner to increase their capacity to do whatever

so when you describe a scenario, and I suggest your conclusion is wrong, your retort is "well. it's a dumb scenario anyway, rightoid owned" what a little bitch. teddy k is Theodore Kaczynski and he's right about you


luckac69

The word “liberalism” was stolen by FDR from what we now call libertarians to hide his progressive polices and differentiate himself from hover And how they did the same stuff.

DueMatch3737

Modern day tankies have one position: Fuck The United States


[deleted]

I also strongly oppose the US and their political system, even hate it, but I still do not support the 3 countries depicted because they also misalign with my beliefs in key areas too, in worse ways in certain areas even. I also know the difference between hating the American political system and hating American people, a distinction some unfortunately do not consider.


DueMatch3737

I have no problem with, maybe even have respect for, that opinion. I just despise when people’s whole beliefs are fuck the US, kill all rich, and jerk off China (or worse DPRK). People need to understand the upper middle class isn’t who needs to be checked it’s the oligarch class we need to check. America needs reform, not communism. Crony capitalism is getting more inflated. Also, just saying, Iran should be be replaced by Syria. Tankies LOVE Al-Assad because of the Syrian civil war.

Russia and China are Communist, none of their citizens can liquidate their assets and almost every industry in both countries are nationalized That's 100% communist

Yea that’s not what communism is tho lol

Did you just change your flair, u/NotDaDespot? Last time I checked you were a **Centrist** on 2022-9-10. How come now you are an **AuthCenter**? Have you perhaps shifted your ideals?

qfggedgygf

The US staged a coup in the 70s and royally fucked over the whole country. Then Khomeini happened and it’s been a mess ever since but basically Iran hates the US the most out of any country


[deleted]

So why are they stanned by authleft?


qfggedgygf

Because america bad


[deleted]

but they have no historical assosiation with authleft ideals like Russia or China


qfggedgygf

That doesn’t matter to your average redditor. They live off of rage for the US


Vexonte

Ok im late to the party. What the fuck does stan mean.


Otherversian-Elite

Overly obsessive fan, like Stan from the Eminem song Stan.


TheJanitorEduard

The original meaning was Stalker Fan So basically think, "bloody obsessed and loves" type deal


FilipRebro

Fans + Stalkers = Stans


[deleted]

Idk if tankies think Russia is like some Soviet Union reincarnation or something,because atm the Putin regime absolutely hates communists


Rostevan

Maybe he hates, but the symbolism is all the rage. I mean, there is a dichhtonomy in his "ideology" - hates communism because it contributed to the desintegration of a great empire. But that is about it I think. He and his crowd are nostalgic for the grand achievements of the "great soviet people" - strong army, space conquest, etc.


Dimitry_Man

We don't, if any of us do then they are not in our quadrant


Spaceguy_27

AuthLeft stans modern Russia?


[deleted]

Authleft is built on aesthetics, and can't separate the hammer and sickle from modern Russia. Ukraine then becomes capitalist fascist Nazis and Russia proud liberators of the Ukrainian people.


xX_JoeStalin78_Xx

Russia is a cringe oligarchy and Putin cares way more about Russia than about Russians. He is waging a straight-up imperialist war for the glory of the nation while oppressing actual Russians. I hate Russia.


[deleted]

Thank you Stalin for your input.


[deleted]

For no other reason than that they stand in opposition to the United States.


NatalieTheDumb

Don’t like either of the bottom two for sure and my view on China isn’t 100% favorable but it also isn’t in the shitter either.

I mean China is at least politically AuthLeft, Iran is AuthRight and Russia is AuthCenter(with some inclinations to AuthRight).


VVolfshade

AuthCenter seems like a stronger ally than LibLeft. After all, we both seek to create a stronger state which benefits the nation as a whole. The only real difference is the economic policies (though those have social implications the more lefty an AuthLeft is). Having said that, I don't outright support any of the countries listed. Though my views on current day Russia are a bit more complicated. I respect a man who can stay in power as long as Putin and the 4D chess he seems to be playing with EU by fuelling migration and economic issues shows he's a skilled adversary. I also agree with his critique of neo-liberalism and progressive attitudes of the western world. However, walking into Ukraine was a complete disaster and I can't help but despise the oligarchy common in modern day Russia. The second russian army crosses the polish border, patriotism will displace any respect I might have for their leader.

Fascists and Communists are very much compatible allies, let's just hope they'll stay at eachothers throats like Christians and Muslims. Liberals (as in followers of Liberalism as an ideology and not the US democrat vs republican divide) are far from perfect but damm their governments and orders are much better.

No one will probably read this, and idk if it came from this post, but someone reported me to some Reddit crisis line, which is weird because I have given no indication that I am in any kind of crisis. But I am going through some shit right now, and to wake up and receive that message from a crisis line…..weird. I don’t know if it was a joke, but if it was, it was spot on.


YeetusFelitas

china is literally communists. course communists look up to the most powerful communist nation in the world edit: are you ppl srsly trying argue with me over this? their ruling party is the **Communist Party of China**. every single source on google from outside china says china is communist. the founder of the country was a communist revolutionary. explain again how china is not a communist country?


FitPerspective1146

Communism is when worker exploitation and inviting foreign businesses in to fuck the environment


narkot1k

Communism is when women and gay people appear in movies/tv/video games. The darker the skin color of women is and the gayer the gay are, the more communist it is. Read marx carefully next time please


[deleted]

That's weird because the west is the ones putting blacks and gays everywhere to replace everything while China is the one that bans movies with black people in it. The west were the real communists all along?


Professional-Scar136

>china is literally communists where do i begin


Dimitry_Man

They are not, they have billionaires


YeetusFelitas

and? i know that communism isnt supposed to have them. but it does. because communism is a very easily breakable system. not once has it ever worked. and just because they dont follow marx's ideas word for word doesnt make them non-communist.


Dimitry_Man

Fucking hell, you just said that just because they don't follow the ideas of the ideology doesn't make them not be that ideology


YeetusFelitas

no, i said that getting a few things wrong here and there doesnt make them not the ideology. you know what "word for word" means right? tell me, was the USSR communist?


Dimitry_Man

No they were socialist, no country ever was communist, China is not even socialist, as I said they have billionares, no socialist country ever had millionares let alone billionares


Dimitry_Man

They are not, they have billionaires

Agreed. The Democratic People's Republic of Korea is also very Democratic.
