I’m fine with communists. My economical political views could be considered communist, too. But tankies defending russian wars of aggression, relativizing Stalin
and labeling every political view they don’t like as liberals is just annoying.
And while not every user on hexbear or lemmy.ee is a tankie, most tankies you see are on these instances.
Where did I do this? Why do you just “doubt” based on something that never happened?
Can you provide specific examples?
You yourself. You said Stalin was no dictator. You lumped conservatives with liberals together.
What is a “tankie” to you?
Authoritarians calling themselves communists or socialists. Online, in discussions, this usually is expressed by relativizing oppressive regimes that call themselves communist or socialist, like China or USSR. Like you do.
All Marxist-Leninists?
Why do you think I generalize? Projection? In this very thread I made very clear I don’t generalize.

You literally did at the beginning of this comment chain. The idea of a Communist calling other Communists “tankies” is a bit silly.

Stalin wasn’t a dictator according to the CIA itself. If using historical evidence and proper analysis makes me a “tankie,” then sure. Conservatives are a type of liberal as well, yes.

The PRC is Socialist, and the USSR was Socialist. I don’t see how anyone labeling themselves a Socialist or a Communist could genuinely believe otherwise unless they haven’t read theory. Would you mind explaining? According to you, authoritarians are just Communists who have actually read Marx, Engels, Lenin, etc.

You’re all over the place, you denounce AES yet call yourself a Communist, you call Communists tankies, it’s all very weird.
I can make recommendations for a basic theory reading list if you want.
The Communists built Lemmy, there are going to be Communists on Lemmy.
