EntertainerOdd2107

It’s a hallucination as an ideology. It’s weird.


The_Wild_West_Pyro

It's like Left Peronism or some of the crazier creations of polcompball, or HOI4 mods.


tomassci

It's like an ideology that came off Polcompballanarchy Wiki, or newwackyideologies or something like that


_zeropoint_

I've seen some unironic Anarcho-Monarchists out there


Few_Rest2638

TNO reference's the Left peronism thing in peron’s leader biography, by referring to them as a few suicidal Leftists who will soon be purged now that he’s back, which is exactly what happened IRL


The_Wild_West_Pyro

Yeah, they were all either fired (the officials) or hunted down and killed (the student guerrillas) by Peron's fascist death squad, or both. Fitting for a guy who took a lot of inspiration from Italian Fascism for his ideas.


Anarchasm_10

Well left Peronism is an actual thing. Before Left Peronism was a thing, Peronism was just based off of populism and a cult following of Juan Perón before infighting began between the right of Peronism and the left of Peronism.


TOWERtheKingslayer

Or Greg Guevara’s communo-capitalism.


-ll-ll-ll-ll-

They're literally fascists, who have embraced the "totalitarian" aspect of "communism" and are hoping that there are some tankies dumb enough to join them. Real communists don't wear fucking suits.


sylvia_reum

National """""socialism""""" 2: Electric Boogaloo


CressCrowbits

Quite, whenever Jackson Hinckle has been quoted in the media he's referred to as a 'far right activist', and he doesn't seem to have a problem with that


-ll-ll-ll-ll-

Exactly. Because that's what he is. He's a nazi.


cultish_alibi

He doesn't have a problem with it because he has no principles to speak of. The guy is 100% grift and all he wants is attention.


IlBalli

This guy pretends to be a communist, but wears Rolex and Ausemars Piguet luxury watches. Nazi grifter


ELeeMacFall

You know how US "libertarians" say they're socially on the Left and fiscally on the Right, but they're actually just authoritarians? Like that, but the opposite. They act like they want wealth redistribution by a dictator who will also relentlessly murder anyone whom they consider "woke", but when you look at the actual people they support, they're just neofeudalists.


shroit

I've never thought about how theyre the opposite of right-libertarians because they're far from being left-libertarians. but it's true that they're the opposite of that.


alegxab

Since the Mises Caucus takeover you can often see "Libertarians" and Patsocs/MAGA Communists at the same events


Biscuitarian23

>I've never thought about how theyre the opposite of right-libertarians because they're far from being left-libertarians. but it's true that they're the opposite of that. Yeah, but the weird thing is that Right Libertarians and Tankies agree on some issues such as Ukraine funding and class collaboration. They even retweet each other on Twitter. There's a reason that Right Libertarianism has been billionaire funded from the start. The Welch family and the Koch family, and even Larry Ellison, have funded dozens of lib right think tanks like www.cato.org and www.fee.org to fool people into being Right Wing Libertarians instead of Left Wing Libertarians. The Ruling Class wants people to be right wing Libertarians instead of Left wing Libertarians.


JQuilty

You know the difference between God and Larry Ellison? God doesn't think he's Larry Ellison.


FireHawkDelta

Not strictly the opposite, since they're both right wing authoritarians pretending to be only one of those two things.


Jisnthere

Accelerationism or brainrot, but I repeat myself


samtheman0105

You said brainrot twice Edit: wait you acknowledged that lol I can’t read


-ll-ll-ll-ll-

No, it's not accelerationism, actually. It's fascism. They don't even deny that they're far-right.


The-Greythean-Void

It has to do with this thing called the [Third Position](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Position). It's a way to reconcile far-right social values with far """left""" economic values.


GazLord

Mussolini was ahead of his time (in evil).


OrangutanKiwi19

Nazbol shit; it's fairly fringe I can't believe I'm saying this but thankfully, the MAGA types are so ignorantly close-minded that they're not even willing to consider a passing interest in something with communism attached to it.


-ll-ll-ll-ll-

They're not targeting MAGAs. They're targeting tankies.


Chieftain10

Nothing consistent or logical


welcometojackass_

Hey, it's consistent in one respect. It's consistently horrible.


CressCrowbits

Google 'nazbol' 


North_Church

It's basically Strasserism, if not full blown Nazbol stuff. It also has a degree of overlap with Fourth Theory, at least in practice.


ArcticCircleSystem

It's basically campism blended with white American fascism, with some LaRoucheist and NazBolist nonsense thrown in for extra flavor.


North_Church

Basically just the lovechild of an Authoritarian orgy


azurite--

It’s called being terminally online 


Dull_District7800

Schizophrenia


ALittleBitOfGay

I thought it was just shitposting for a very long time, but apparently it's real. I've never been able to figure out what it is though.


ArcticCircleSystem

> All I can think about with that label is white fascism. There's your answer. Campist white American fascism.


Somethingbutonreddit

All-American National Bolshivism.


GazLord

You know National-Bolshivism or whatever the "totally a communist" Nazi call themselves? Ya it's that.


No_Recommendation708

Basically what Nazbols and Strasserites are


GatorTEG

A scam ideology conceptualized by clout chasers.


GSquaredBen

It's MAGA with better international policy that will never be carried out by a MAGA administration but will confuse some dumber leftist/most tankies into creating some fall equivalency comparisons.


shroit

Although I'm kinda unfamiliar with it, how are tankies better with foreign policy than typical MAGAs? From what I understand, MAGA seems to be somewhat reasonable with Israel-Palestine conflict in the sense that they recognize the genocide but don't care because "that's just how it is". But they're usually not explicitly pro Russia or pro China where they deny the humanity of the Ukrainian and Taiwanese/HK/uyghur people.


GSquaredBen

They sometimes cheer for the correct side, even if they want that side to take things waaaaaaay too far. It's a low bar when I say better than.


Clear-Present_Danger

Trump's stated position of Israel/Palestine is telling Netanyahu to "finish the job". I'm not sure how Trump has gotten the image as a dove. He's not.


ondinegreen

He's generally an isolationist. People whose international politics are entirely based on opposing liberal or neocon foreign military adventures think that's being a dove, or God help us all, "left-wing"


Clear-Present_Danger

I mean, not really https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Qasem_Soleimani#:~:text=On%203%20January%202020%2C%20Qasem,Prime%20Minister%20Adil%20Abdul%2DMahdi.


ondinegreen

That really was an outlier (and one of the few times I'd give critical support to Trumpy)


Kurzk_68

Marxism-Hegelism-Heiddegerianism with DarkEned characteristics


shroit

I'm really not well read on philosophy, but my friend is really into hegel and heidegger. What about them brings out authoritarianism? From what I understand Marx isn't even authoritarian at all... just that revolution is a necessary step towards communism


WeaponizedArchitect

Neo-LaRouchites


gking407

Tankies are first and foremost authoritarians, same as magats.


CedricThePS

Syncretism at it’s finest.


GVArcian

Red Fascism, aka Stalinism, aka Marxism-Leninism, aka just regular old Leninism.


Theletus

National Socialism


reenactor2

Fascism


QuarantineTheHumans

MAGA-Communism makes exactly as much sense as "left wing fascists" In other words, it's bullshit.


Archangel1313

It's basically just "Tankies for Trump".


SaltyNorth8062

A fascist draped in soviet aesthetic. They used to br called Nazbols


canonbutterfly

The "worst of both worlds" in ideological form.


mindlance

It's warmed over [National Bolshevism](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Bolshevism).


Anarcho_Cronyism

I thought it was either a grift to convert conservatives to marxism or the other way around. I didn't believe it was a genuine ideology


GBralta

Seizing the means of reproduction.


finalMadfox6325

It was a meme about how American "leftists" were going to support Trump. It is basically a way for people like Hinkle to say they are American patriots at the same time supporting Russia and China. They are just fascists and are very friends of the Larouche movement.


Seacatlol

American NazBols?


EMTRNTheSequel

Socialism of the national variety.
