You’re arguing that it’s okay to call a group a term used almost exclusively by their political enemies who want them completely destroyed, I think it’s pretty obvious that you’re a racist.
I don’t think I called you racist to start with, but my point was that just because something is called by X name in one context by one group of people and Y in another context by another group does not mean both names are equally valid. When it comes to political entities, typically the belief is that the group itself decides on its own name (like Kiev officially becoming Kyiv in English, to take a recent example). The CPC says that its name is the CPC. Western journos who want their readership to hate the Party call it the CCP. These are not equally valid bases for what to call something.
We’re mainly waiting for you to say “Yes, I was wrong, Hexbear doesn’t shill for Russia/China/DPRK and call them communist utopias, and I guess tankies is kind of a meaningless term.”. I think that was the point.

Its both. Be less of a dick.
Thanks for post examples of modern day russia being authoritarian, homophobia is usually a sign of authoritarianism.
So i guess you got me. Russia still sux.
What was your point again?
No, it’s just one, but western press likes to use the other
Ok
“In English they call themselves the Vietnamese, but everyone in my neighborhood calls them ****s. It’s both.”
I dont understand what you are saying here are you calling me racist again?

I did not know that was the case. So I see your point.
I will from now on use CPC.
Thank you for confirming that you asked this in bad faith.
what’s in good faith is citing a wikipedia article that in fact proves my point
Literally the first line!
