    Don’t take shitposts so seriously!

    A tankie is a supporter of authoritarian state capitalism and the genocidal imperialist policies of such regime that follow such a model. Nothing more, nothing less. )

        The “leftists” of .world and .db0 have fully embraced mask off Nazism so long as it lets them punch left

          Yeah I’ve noticed that on db0 they think they’re being “normal” but it’s the fasc they have been surrounded with since birth, but on world they’re liberals who would rather knowingly vote fasc than lose a single penny of profit

            The admins of db0 have endorsed the stance that every Soviet soldier deserved to die for not surrendering to the Nazis

      So Nordic model leftists are tankies. Ukraine supporters are tankies. Nelson Mandela was a tankie.

      Edit: oh, turns out they are an outright Nazi

          Are Nordic model leftists supporters of Authoritarianism? That’s the key part.

          Yes. Absolutely. By definition. By any leftist definition, the Nordic states are undeniably authoritarian. They are literally capitalist! The fact that you are even asking this is absurd.

          Do they think a dictatorship is a good idea?

          Yes, they think the dictatorship of capitalist class is a good idea. Again, this is undeniable by any leftist definition.

          Or do they excuse or deny a genocide because the people doing it are opposed to the US?

          Given that nobody does this, apparently there’s no such thing as a tankie. Or are you just trying to slip in a blatant strawman?

          Chompsky has done both

          You listed three things, you illiterate dipshit.

          Pol Pot

          opposed to the US

          You absolute fucking dumbass.

              Imagine thinking “how can you possibly think capitalism is authoritarian! That’s absurd! You clearly no nothing” was going to be a compelling argument to anti-capitalists.

              Seriously, another prime example that “tankie” is just a pejorative for anyone left of Elizabeth Warren
