The idea of a tankie is the ideal vision of a McCarthyian Communist
So you’re saying that tankies aren’t communists?
Moreover, calling Communists “fascists” makes about as much sense as libertarians complaining about the US government being “Communist.”
I thought you just said that Tankies aren’t communists? Because the alternative is that communism is when you genocide uyghurs to create Lebensraum for the han chinese. Which is just fascism.
It’s entirely divorced from reality and rests upon dramatic errors in understanding what fascism is
I spent years learning about fascism just to be lectured by a fascist charading as a communist on the internet lol
as Is the Red Flag Flying? The Political Economy of the Soviet Union to
I just quickly put it through Perplexity and: “For example, he interprets the 1956 Hungarian intervention as a pre-emptive strike against Western powers gaining influence in the Eastern Bloc”
It is Tankie shit. Imperialism bad, unless the Flag is red, then massacring workers and women is actually good. And from doing the same with the blakshirts book it seems the author has no Idea of how fascism came to rise or willingly lies about it to push his narrative.
Calling tankies communists is a disservice to the entire ideology of communism. If you want to simp for an authoritarian strongman just be honest with yourself and call yourself a fascist.
And literally in the next paragraph he denies the uyghur genocide.
except they literally are.
And then he parrots soviet propaganda on why their imperialism was actually not imperialism lol
Strawmanning and moving the goalpoast. Tried and True Tankie Method.
Go wank another one to the poster of Stalin over your bed. A serious discussion is not possible with someone living detached from reality. Have a good one.
