It’s not fun interacting with them when they often want to engage in ad hominems. This is why I have no interest in the tankie triad.

It’s “anarchist” which more often than not means they’ve never thought about their political positions beyond the very surface level because if they did they’d realize it doesn’t make any sense. Ask a group of anarchists how large scale infrastructure would be built or how societal conflicts would be resolved in their utopia and watch how their ideology completely falls apart.
It sounds like you think Anarchism is the lack of a government. It isn’t. It’s the lack of hierarchy. Government is still possible, and arguably required.
I don’t think it’s Anarchists who don’t know what they’re talking about.
Well yes of course, because “anarchism” is a very broad term that covers a lot of different ideologies. Two persons that both might say they are “anarchists” could disagree on a whole lot.
Maybe you should think a bit more complexly about what anarchism is (though I’m not trying to excuse any bad behaving instances out there).
Yes, yes it’s the anarchists that haven’t given any thought to their political beliefs. Not like the super smart Giga Chad Galaxy brained geniuses. That keep making overcomplicated centralized unanswerable structures of power. And then shrugging confused every time it turns against them. Because as we all know doing the same thing over and over expecting a different outcome is brilliance.
Tap for spoiler
Anarchism is much more nuanced that that.
Every ideology exists on some kind of spectrum. As far as I can tell, pure capitalism, pure communism, and pure anarchism all bring significant problems when you try to apply them that are unique to their own strengths and weaknesses. You have to work things out and use common sense. But, talking about political philosophy and trying new principles for governance can still be a good thing, even if the as-described form is often a failure if people try to apply it in a way that is “pure” ideologically.
But if anybody on DB0 ever speaks ill of Tankies and China they get fucking ratio’d, how weird is that?
