It was made by a tankie, so makes sense in the fledgling days it would be like that I guess.

  I keep forgetting what a “tankie” is, even though it’s said a lot on Lemmy.

    It’s generally used to refer to authoritarian “communists” who refuse to be critical about the ussr or learn from the mistakes of lenin (watering communism down with capitalism and nationalism, basically) -As opposed to say, anarchists, communalists, and mutualists all of which are offshoots, but much more representive of textbook, marxist communism

    People who support authortarian regimes of the communist variety. Though it usually still includes modern Russia and China, even though they’ve incorporated some capitalism intk their societies.
