Seems reasonable to me. It’s strange to me how these people hate US liberals, never say a word about US conservatives, and love Russia and China, despite none of those things being in line with their professed beliefs.

You can't be pro worker and pro China, the literal sweatshop nation.

Tankies go out of their way to defend an absolute hereditary monarchy just because the Kim Dynasty says they are communist, defending China is nothing in comparison. They are the same kind of idiots as the ones that fell for the "Sozialistische Arbeiterpartei" (socialist workers party) part of the NSAPD's (aka Nazi party) name.

Sincerely, thank you. Fuck these fascist edgelords.

I'm not even communist — rather a Georgist myself — but it's so fun to portray THEM as the conservative reactionaries and paid shills. They literally don't even know how to properly respond. The best part is everything I said is 100% true: tankies ARE in fact errand boys for the imperial elites. Or at the very least useful idiots.

It's so unreal for me, that they'd champion Russia and China of all places. I remember reading a comment from one tankie defending Xi removing his own term limit. "Clearly people like him, he has overwhelming poll numbers. Depriving them of the chance to continue to vote for him would be undemocratic"

Oh man, the irony. Do they not remember that China doesn't even pretend to have national popular elections? The people can't vote for Xi even if they actually wanted to!

You're the fucking man

Reminds me of the Guy (I can't remember who it was) that one-upped the Conspiracy theorists. "The Moon Landing was faked" "You still belive in the Moon?!"
