Wow that's super interesting. I just signed up for Lemmy last month and I just googled what to sign up for and .Ml was the first one that came up. Fuck tankies and fuck commies so I guess I'm definitely going to get lumped into them for now. Oh well
Nah commies are cool, tankies aren't
There is no form of commie in the world that libs won't decry as a tankie anyway. Don't bother playing into the word games.
Yea there is, the ones who don't glorify and call brutal dictators "silly boy"
Believe it or not there are communists that aren't authoritarian bootlickers. I feel bad for them having to overcome the tankies image problem
they are the same thing.
tankie is just a generic derogatory slang for leftist.
Nope, it is clearly defined.

wikipedia says its a generic pejorative to define marxist-leninists. so, just as i said?
bonus points for the AuThoRiTharian trope.
How interesting the actual view from Wikipedia doesn't line up with that at all🤔
Yeah but 98% of the self identified communists you find on Lemmy are actually just Tankies. Part of it is that most reasonable folk would rather call themselves a democratic socialist than a communist, as the latter has become entrenched in the philosophy of the USSR.
