Thank you so much for bringing tankie shit to this community!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 days ago

does tankie just mean "critiques capitalism" now?

This is tankie? It seems just communist.

After everything that happened in the 20th century to learn from, is there any difference?

The tankies don’t seem particularly picky about whether their contrarian cause celebres are actually socialist or just a dickhead dictator and his rich mates.

sounds like you have a lot to learn yourself

You say that as if the Venn diagram of Tankies and modern-day Communists isn't 99% on the way to being a circle.

Well, tanks for one thing. That's like their whole schtick

Even if you're a die-hard capitalist, you shouldn't use "tankie" as a broad label for anti-capitalists. Diluting it as a term just helps the actual tankies (authoritarian communists).

I’m an anarchist who despises authoritairian tankies.

This is just critical theory, and meta science. Both of which are legitimate fields.
