Comment on .ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this

  Yup, look, here i am defending communists, and you cant help but shit on them, calling them all tankies. Oh well, no good deed eh?

    Acknowledging that “tankie” is a pejorative for those who support socialist states isn’t a condemnation of them.

      Acknowledging that tankie is a pejorative for those who support socialists states would be incorrect. I am defending communists, just not tankies. Im a little sad that you cant seem to untie the two from one another :(

        Nah, tankie is a pejorative for those that support existing socialist states, which applies to the overwhelming majority of communists. Trying to untie them is just a way to pretend you don’t oppose communism and thus save face on a platform with lots of leftists.
