I wouldn’t say mostly. There’s plenty of BS around it since it’s very prone to attracting hippies, and there’s plenty of grifting around it and pseudoscience as well. But some concepts such as certain plant species working together, soil regeneration, planting pollinator-attracting plants, diversity to prevent plagues, organizing land in such a way that it’s most useful to people and more intensive the closest to them and less intensive the further it is, reusing every output as much as possible and minimising artificial inputs, working with nature and not against it… There’s plenty of valid themes in permaculture than can be used.

You’d be right if people started permaculture in untouched Amazon, but they don’t. Like easily 30%+ of soil in most countries (exceptions aside like Russia or Finland) have been exploited by humans for decades if not centuries. Biomes have been so modified in these places that nature would take insanely long times (in human timespan) to recover. Steading it and directing it with the input of humans can be a great way to accelerate that and get something for humans in return.

all farming is bad for nature

Nope. Regenerative agriculture is absolutely a thing. I recommend you check the video series on Al Bayda’s permaculture project, really worth a watch.

If you think a reference to Lenin makes you a Tankie, you have no idea what tankies are and you’re just blatantly anti-communist, that’s the issue here. Thinking that Lenin is an admirable Marxist theorist, doesn’t mean you support tanks invading Hungary, and you’re either mistakingly or willingly conflating communism with authoritarianism, which is absolute bullshit.

As you can see on the modding history, that was done after my ban. As I explained, that post wasn’t there when I posted, my post was the first in the sub and there were no guidelines.

And no, I didn’t know it was an “anti-tankie” sub, “de_ml” implies pushing against ml.

Tankie is when you spam anti-US imperialism on inappropriate communities.

As said on the post, there were no guidelines on the sidebar and no posts in the community, so by whose standards is it inappropriate. Spreading anticapitalist propaganda doesn’t make someone a tankie ffs

your ideas

My ideas being “stop doing supporting fascist dictatorships and stop creating famines in Bengal”, right? Because what else do you know about my ideas from the post?

Just like in your mind it’s a binary choice between US imperialism and red imperialism

Again, you’re making things up and accusing me of things I haven’t said, and accusing me of being a tankie because you assume my ideology to be a given one. You may think I’m tone deaf, you may think my critique here is not legitimate, and all of that’s cool, but how am I a tankie?!

a tankie like you

…and there we go, the magic word to end all discussion in this platform. You guys keep disregarding any and all criticism of capitalism and accusing it of whataboutism and tankieism. Again, how many days have to pass from whichever commemoration of a heinous act committed by a communist project until people can discuss the problems of capitalism and imperialism without fear of being accused of being tankies?
