Liberal democracy is a vile anti-democratic institution (and I don’t necessarily even think that direct democracy is the best or only method of horizontal, anti-authoritarian decision making without extra information; i.e. upholding democracy as the be-all end-all of “all power to all the people” is itself a lack of imagination). Almost every imperialist power today is a liberal-democratic state. Liberal democracy is a resounding success at what it is designed to do, which is oppress the proletariat and entrench capitalist hegemony while giving the superficial appearance of proletarian representation to gullible liberals.
And no actually, proletarians should not be paying a single goddamn fucking penny to capitalists or their demonic governments as long as they use our money to destroy us, doom our ecology, and just barely maintain the social services or infrastructure statists claim that these institutions are supposed to provide, which incidentally, half the bourgeoisie doesn’t even want their governments to even give the workers enough crumbs off the table to buy proletarians’ compliance!
For starters you oppose Liberalism, which is the belief in protected guaranteed individual rights and freedoms.
For second, you oppose democracy, which is rule by the people.
Thirdly, you claim only Democracies have ever had “imperial” tendencies.
The way you use these words is generally how Tankies speak, how they describe western nations as completely evil and promote any and every level of harm towards them, while also conveniently excluding horrible state of Eastern Bloc autocratic nations.
They are anarco communist. They are as much an enemy of ML and tanky as you are. And liberalism can mean a lot of things. Most of which aren’t what you claim. What you’re referring to would be socially liberal. Which would be better described as progressivism. And is strictly a terminology that only makes barely any sense in the context of US politics. The rest of the world uses liberal very differently.

Something you Tankies fail to realize is that your rabid and biggoted craziness actually pushes people further towards liberalism.
It’s hilarious watching Autocratists and Authoritarianists lecture others about living in subservience.
And when have I ever supported authoritarian projects or autocracy? You just don’t like being called out as the liberal you are.
