Now, if there were precedents of mass imprisonment, law abuse, discrimination, and outright murder of communists, my argument would hold. Oh, wait, the red scare happened, and McCarthyism, and mass executions of communists all over fascist Europe, and…
Or are you seriously pretending that this didn’t happen? You’re talking to a Spaniard, communists were systematically executed under the American-backed Franco regime. As for France, Operation Gladio was literally a plot of assassinations of communists
So you DO understand why I explained you my reasoning for criticising the word “tankie” used as a left-punching slur, and you’re just playing dumb instead of engaging with anything I said.
I engaged with what you said, I said I dont think it’s right to base whether something is a slur based on the root meaning of the word. I think that’s incorrect and a little ridiculous.
The N-word is related to colour, I dont get it why that matters whether something is a slur or not.

Are you sure this was meant to be a reply to me?
Well, you’re making bad faith replies to words used to describe people who are consistently repressed under capitalism, so yes I’m responding to you
I said slurs can be based on colour and you’re saying that I pretend that communist were not persecuted, do you see why I’m confused?
Why did you respond that to my comment then
Because I think you were wrong? In fact I find your original argument kind of ridiculous.
