All revolutions are inherently violent, so again, this just circles back to supporting socialist states.
Comment on .ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this
CompassRed@discuss.tchncs.de 1 month agoA tankie is anyone who supports violent left wing regimes. It requires support of violence and doesn’t require that the regime still exists.

It’s not relevant to this thread. Also, shut your mouth.

Revolution is the only way left-wing governments have historically been solidified. Bolivia tried the democratic process, and this failed, so now a potential revolution is brewing as clashes between the far-right and the primarily indigenous socialists are erupting. Allende tried the democratic process in Chile, and was coup’d for it.

Who cares? I’m not talking about how they get solidified. I’m talking about what they do when they have power. If someone supports violent left wing regimes, then they are a Tankie. If you don’t think that the regimes are violent beyond their revolutions, then that wouldn’t imply one way or another whether you are a Tankie.

Violence of the oppressed vs violence of the oppressor
