Interesting. I don’t want to put a burden on you, but you might want to consider that Western people who use the pejorative “tankie” might not be ideologically opposed to you in any particular way, and if you were to instead reply first with what you did just now they might even agree with you.
I got really triggered when you said I was a Holocaust denier. Maybe you felt the same way with me comparing Stalin with hitler and Andrew Jackson.
I’m sorry if I made you feel attacked or uncomfortable as a Trans individual. While I personally don’t identify as a communist, I have a strong empathy for Marxist. I can only imagine the fear and anxiety you must feel at home, and I hope that you and your allies succeed in building a better world for yourselves.
I appreciate that we began to understand each other. It might be that I don’t talk with western socialists enough, I use original definitions for everything.
Likewise, I don’t speak to many people outside of the US.
I think you’ll find that westerners tend to be more loose with thier definitions. We adopt analogies and political shorthands very quickly.
Additionally, many “progressive” Americans like me are extremely critical of nationalism. Capitalist and conversation Christian propaganda is everywhere here, and it cultivates a short of hyper sensitively to certain subjects. I’m very critical of states, especially socially conservative or militaristic ones.
In your situation, supporting a communist party might be your best choice, just like mine is voting for capitalist Democrats (over Republicans).
I hope you make more Western friends. You’ll surely teach them new things and vice versa.
I like you and I respect you. I need to go to sleep (it’s 1:15am here). Take care!
