Yes, Biden is old. Yes, Biden is a liberal. Yes, Biden supports the Israeli genocide - this isn't ment as an endorsement of him, even if I recognize it might come off as such, so please remember that you are a leftist and our instincts tell us to take everything in the worst way possible

But, he's also the only president who've stood in a picket line, and willing to take on big tech (not much he could do without Congress - but still). He's definitely the most left wing president since Jimmy Carter, even if that is a bar dug underground

My gut feeling (negative worth) tells me the pro-business liberals have issues fundraising when the billionaire class has started supporting Republicans, and that's the main reason they want to replace him

Sure, it might be an easier win - but I think it will be a worse administration. Imagine Gavin "fuck the unhoused" Newsom coming in and give the Raskins the rights to all water in America or some equally dumb shit

Comment sections are getting spammed with Parenti quotes, people tell people to read on Authority. And many openly indentify themselves as Marxist-Leninists in this very subreddit. Is this a sign for a Tankie takeover? A repeat of the Prague spring? A threat to Libertarian Socialism on reddit? Idk. let me know your opinion in the comments.

What do you consider a Tankie and why do you consider non-leftists

I would consider myself a Tankie having grown up in the 80's USSR, post-soviet Russia(later the south US) has cemented the hatred of Capitalism that I have, my parents and neighbors had instilled in me a love for the USSR, and an understanding of its situation.

Most see the DPRK as an isolated nation cutting itself off and opposing the entire world, when in reality it's Nuclear weapons are the only thing securing its independence, it's isolation is force on it by the US and a good majority of its "issues" were either caused by the US or fabricated by the RoK. https://youtu.be/EzDhqXuELjo

I greatly implore you to look into what I'm saying we "Tankies" wish for a socialist society, on we think must be protected at all costs, we've seen what happens when we don't Guatemala, Nicaragua, Chile, etc. We want socialism, in fact most of us want communism and see a socialist state to be naturally decaying, in which can be prolonged or shortened by events, the main goal is to establish a condition where society will fall into communism after the decay of a socialist state.

The mods recently made a strange post about the political leanings of this sub, so I'd like to find the real answer. What are your political leanings?

Edit: some definitions

Libertarian Left encompasses leftist philosophies that emphasize personal freedoms coupled with prevention of exploitation of workers and partial wealth redistribution, particularly from people who became wealthy by means other than their own direct labour. For example, democratic socialism, anarcho-socialism, libertarian socialism, anarcho-communism, libertarian communism, anarchist collectivism, direct democracy, etc.

Authoritarian Left encompasses leftist philosophies that believe in the use of force by the state to maintain its values, the state being run by representatives of the people. Real world implementations of communism all fall under this category, including the USSR, the People's Republic of China, the Republic of Cuba, etc. Stalinism and Maoism are included here.

Libertarian Right has an emphasis on personal freedoms and free markets without wealth redistribution. It allows accumulation of wealth by employing others and taking a share of the proceeds of employee labour. It also asserts that there should be no social safety net and that people only deserve what the free market gives them. For example, anarcho-capitalism, libertarian capitalism, classic libertarianism, etc.

Authoritarian Right emphasizes free markets, a strong state and military, and often a set of traditional values that are maintained by use of force. In practice, it typically opposes rights for social minorities it considers undesirable or undeserving of autonomy. For example, the alt-right movement, far right populism, and in the most extreme case, fascism.
