“Tankism” isnt a thing, do you mean Marxism-Leninism? In general, you can criticise anything you want, as long as it is based on facts and not on baseless insulting.
“Tankism” from my understanding is an umbrella term for various forms of authoritarianism. Marxism-Leninism is definitely one of those, and so is trotskyism and maoism.
Marxism has strong overlap with “tankism” but the two groups are not equivalent, as there’s a (growing?) number of anti-authoritarian marxists.
You should read the text On Authority by Engels, it is quite short and explains the Marxist stance in this regard.
What’s “tankism”? There’s just been a statement about the political ideologies of devs / mods on Lemmy.
If you just want to share a spicy meme there are other communities like /c/completeanarchy and /c/dankleft.
Seems appropriate at this point that here you should at least put some effort into your critique and at least define if you’re talking about Marxism, ML, MLM, or some other ideology.
I want to share analysis about their abusive practice. Starting from the Bolshevik suppression of the soviet revolution and ending with the modern form that tries to follow these footsteps.
That seems fine. I’m just thinking it’s best to do so with some substantial analysis / critique.
If you just start a thread with the title of “Am I allowed to criticize tankism in this forum?” and saying nothing else, it’s just going to come off as inflammatory trolling without substance. You’re not going to convince anyone that way.
I mean the 2. rule of lemmy.ml is “Be respectful. Everyone should feel welcome here.” So just mere criticism could be read as being a violation of that rule.
If that’s the case, I think lemmy is nothing for me.
You seriously can’t fathom the notion of disagreeing respectfully? Of respectful criticism? Really?
