I joined during the Reddit migration and ended up dealing with Tankies almost immediately. Before Lemmy I always thought most Communists would claim that true communism hasnt happened yet, I was NOT expecting people who aggressively protected safe spaces and didnt allow any level of words that could be considered slurs to think that Russia and China have done nothing wrong and are super great countries
Yeah I have been hearing the word "tankies" thrown around since joining during the great migration, too. I still don't understand what the term means lol
Its a communist who thinks Russia and China are ideals to follow, easy enough to understand.
