    Absolute word salad.

    Tankies aren’t communists - they’re red-fascist dogs that don’t care about worker enfranchisement.

    You can fuck off now.

      What? Ofc they are. Are you conflating “authoritarian” with “fascists?”

        Depends. If a government is oppressive to civil rights and punishes dissent, but they’re a rival/adversary of the US, do they get a pass for that?

        A tankie would say yes, because they’re too blinded by anti American sentiment to think objectively. Generally speaking, a tankie will defend the Chinese government’s censorship, for instance.

          think the problem is the psychological and political definition of “right wing authoritarian” are very different, but we (including myself) don’t know or forget, and also don’t define our terms at outset. Thanks for your reply. Btw I’ve always been dubious of “enemy of my enemy = friend.”
