In a press conference this week on New York City’s $12 billion budget gap, Mayor Zohran Mamdani zeroed in on the previous administration’s artificial intelligence chatbot as one of “a number of different things we’re going to pursue for savings.”

Not you, you couldn’t possibly be taken by a CIA psyop!

Anyone can, we are all people.

Still, tankies are simps for authoritarians. Further they discourage electoralism which is a big form of organizing here in the west. I've said it before, elections are not the end all be all, but it is a mistake to neglect them as they do add credibility to our movements and shifts the overton window to our favor. If anything tankies are the best form of the left that J Edgar Hoover would have wanted for us; unwilling to enage and toxic.

Anyway, that is a summary of why I don't think tankies are worth much time. Unless you have something worth talking about Im not going to engage further.

why does the West take in Nazis and brutally crush AES? Perhaps you could actually dig into what Operation Gladio and Operation Condor did.

Like this, two things can be wrong at the same time. Tankies have a hard time understanding that.

And what are Western socialists doing to discourage or stop this authoritarianism that works, or is that reserved for states in the global South?

Further they discourage electoralism which is a big form of organizing here in the west.

I've never seen that. I've seen it mocked and knows from forty years' personal experience voting here in the USA, the only thing it's done is move us further right. But sure, tankies are the problem. Btw, remind me again why Dems only sued in swing states to keep Claudia De La Cruz off the ballot?

Idk im not a dem. We could have our own party in many places, and it would be helpful if tankie types stop disparaging our attempts to organize and support us where they can instead.

That said in places where we won't have a party we should strategically vote as left as possible in primaries not just final elections.

So yeah, tankies are part of the problem.

Well whatever you do, don't dive deep into Operations Gladio and Condor.
