I am admittedly being lax with the definition, but they are certainly defending an authoritarian state and their atrocities committed in service of an ideological state project.

that’s just a generic authoritarian. tankie specifically shill perverted version of communism based on Lenin/Stalin/Mao, excusing their crimes and glorifying history of USSR as something that was good.
They do side with Palestinians on this issue, mainly because Israel is supported by Imperial US.
Mainly because “the jews sided with the capitalist” Stalin literally committed a second holocaust and pushed the “anti imperialism” theory where Israel is a colonial state and shit like that, most people in Israel are natives or refugees that have feed other countries where they haven’t been save anymore. There is a reason why the only jews in middle-east are in Israel or in their Army/Government
Its not just the German Nazis that hated the jews, actually all of the world hated and most still hate them. The Nazis where just the worst so far by putting it on industrial scale “extermination camps” (the actual translation for Concentration camps like Auschwitz-Birkenau, in German they where called “Vernichtungslager”)
What? The Nazis also killed many others i seriously don’t get your bullshit here. Everyone with a little history literacy knows about the holodomor, or what the Soviets did to eastern Europe in general, there are literally reports that the average person was better off under the fucking Nazis, im not going to judge on that im not from that time gladly. Whats your point here?
That while antisemitism within USSR was a thing, it never amount to outright ethnic persecution unless you going to talk pruges of 1930s. But those purges had nothing to do with with victims being jewish or otherwise, Stalin was just disposing of useful idiots after they did his dirty jobs such as holodomor.
100,000 Jews were killed in pogroms between 1918 and 1921.
And yes, the purges were absolutely about Jews. They just hid their antisemitism by focusing on Zionism as the target (sound familiar?). But it was nothing but good old antisemitism: The Jews are a threat to Communist Russia because they’re greedy cosmopolitan capitalists.
tankie is has a specific meaning, ie a communist who will enforce his will with a barrel of the tank, refering when USSR invaded its EE satellites to prevent popular liberalization.
what makes them bad is justifying state violence.
communism is a separate topic from the tankie imho. they are just parasites shilling foreign state actors narratives or larping because life in williamsburg is too good.
Tankie pretends to follow the Marxist-leninist school of thought… however, they are not very good at actual marxism, they prefer that hard metal style communism and propaganda.

what are you relying on to make this claim?

so this shit again…
Stalin kills millions of people but has anyone thought about the jews 🤡

bottom line, it was hardly “a second holocaust”

On the off chance that you’re just ignorant:

Let’s just say that it was fortunate that Stalin died before he could execute the final steps of his plans.
🤦 I think you are just trolling.
The 100 million dead
Idk, I guess I don’t see the point of the distinction, they’re both still defending authoritarian atrocities along ideological lines.
Unless the point is that they’re nominally communist and that somehow makes them uniquely or especially bad?
If that’s the case then it more seems like we’re being selectively critical of communism, not authoritarianism.
The distinction matters, that’s why it’s a whole separate word.
We it certainly does seem to matter a lot to capitalists, i’ll give you that.

Sure, but how is that meaningfully different than a Zionist enforcing his will with a barrel of a tank?
Bro being on this community and not even understanding what a tankie is…
🤡
Yeah, you seem to have found the fitting emoji for yourself, maybe make it your pfp.
Tankie pretends to follow the Marxist-leninist school of thought… however, they are not very good at actual marxism, they prefer that hard metal style communism and propaganda.
Israelis pretend to follow the old bible.
We might disagree on what counts as meaningful.
Maybe so but you misID’ed this person so i am providing you with the context.
Zionists don’t enforce their will with the barrel of a tank. They protect their nation with the barrel of a tank. Big difference.
Ya know what, you’re right, that’s exactly what this looks like now that you mention it
