    If someone supports authoritarians masquerading as leftists they subscribe to tankie ideology. Sucks for them that it’s a pejorative TOO.

    If people don’t like being called it maybe they shouldn’t openly support such behavior.

    Edit it’s funny, someone calling for mutual aid driven , equity based, collectivist society would never be called a tankie. It’s other stuff that people are squirming out of the cracks to defend here. Like long running dictatorial rule, state control of information, ethnic cleansing and political prisons.

    And before I’m hit with the ml special: a lot of that shit happens in the west too, and has for years. There’s just different labels for it.

      What makes someone a Leftist, vs an “authoritarian masquerading as a leftist?” What is “tankie ideology?”

        JAQ elsewhere. Ample resources to look up.

        My late edit had some keywords to can type in if you’re unfamiliar.

          It isn’t “JAQ,” I asked a specific pair of questions because vague gesturing isn’t effective communication. For your edit, removing control from the Bourgeoisie, defending revolution, and having the Dictatorship of the Proletariat control the press is straight from Marx, so I guess you mean Marxism is “tankie ideology.” I don’t know what you mean by dictatorships, nor ethnic cleansing, this just seems to be more vague assertions.
