So, as suspected, “tankie” means any communist you didn’t make up.
Thanks for showing your opinion is meaningless.

You’re still failing to name any.

Uh huh. So, again, which actual communists are not tankies?
- Comment on .ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, and that’s why this is nonsense. “All things are only good or bad, and anything that is bad and communist is tankie. And, funny enough, I don’t seem to mind bad when it’s not communist”

It’s not whataboutism when people are making false equivalencies.

What is “unapologetic”? Like pointing out that the US is constantly is launching wars of aggression, while China hasn’t been in a war since the 70s?
There’s a big false equivalence that liberals want to make between the US and other large powers, that if ores the scope and frequency of US lawlessness.

OK chief, let’s try it easier. What actual communists that have existed are not tankies, according to you?
Because my library socialist/ Titoist ass is called one constantly for saying such radical things as “the US shouldn’t be excused for their constant war crimes”.

It’s just coincidence that it’s used against all communists then?

- Comment on Spooooookyyyyy Scaaaaaaaarrryyyy 5 weeks ago:
Heh I was a teenage Ayn Rand fan.
It was working minimum wage jobs while studying economics that made me a communist. Because the math of the myths of capitalism doesn’t work.
It’s one reason I laugh whenever some libertarian tells me I need to learn basic econ - because buddy, I learned basic, advanced, and I usually know your theory better than you do. It’s why I know it’s dogshit.
- Comment on Spooooookyyyyy Scaaaaaaaarrryyyy 5 weeks ago:
Capital has always been formed by exploitation - you cannot have a surplus without paying workers less than they create, it’s an accounting relationship.
That said, the amount of income disparity in “communist” countries has generally been much less than capitalist ones.
As far as oppression, it depends how you define that. But if you want to look at the amount of incarceration (a good measure), the US not only is greater than any socialist nation’s average, but even the worst of the Stalinist Great Purge. And this ignores just how cruel capitalism is in the global south to make those profits.
