Apology would be extremely surprising. Both of the main lemmy devs are well know hard-core tankies.

Communists tend to be the most supportive of trans liberation, I recommend reading Feinberg's Trans Liberation: Beyond Pink or Blue as well as Nia Frome's The Problem of Recognition in Transitional States, or Sympathy for the Monster.

None of this is to defend Nutomic's views as stated here, I firmly disagree with them. However, the idea that communists are supposed to be transphobic is just not true, generally. Cuba even has one of the world's most progressive family codes, and the GDR was one of the world's most progressive states towards the end of its existence. Marxism provides a framework that enables liberation of all oppressed peoples.

hi, tankie here

his take is reactionary garbage and he doesn't know what he's talking about. most other tankies i know don't parrot conservative talking points about trans people

hope this helps

hi, ancom here, same view, the guy's saying garbage shit

thank you for your service o7

that said, i think before even considering to dismiss him, we'd need to find a new one that is trusted by the other dev, otherwise we risk shutting lemmy down.

it should be a dev with good knowledge of lemmy and who's left-wing, that at least

He's the Putin kind of tankie though.

What’s a tankie? (Serious question)

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

A pejorative for communist, similar to "pinko," "commie," and "red." See this Prolewiki article on "Tankies," as well as Nia Frome's essay "Tankies."

More than Wikipedia, I recommend the Prolewiki article on "Tankies," as well as Nia Frome's essay "Tankies."
