    It’s also the fascism they support. They are all okay with “communist” China and Russia and I have met too many tankies who unironically support North Korea. Such a joke.

    Tankies just use leftist populism as a facade, like how the Nazis did, but deep down their values don’t align with actual communists and anarchists.

      I’ll spot you China, since we get a “DAE think Chinese President looks Yellow?!” posts daily. But then we’re just describing Tankies as people who are tired of the elementary school tier racism with a Disney fetish.

      Russian Communism, such that it was, got dismantled way back in the 90s. Outside the handful of terminally online grifters that branded themselves MAGA-Communists or whatever, who is seriously conflating the United Russia Party leadership with your Allendes or Castros or Mandelas?

      At this point, I’m going to need to see some names. Who are these actual tankies? Can you point to one?

      Cause I’m beginning to think you’re describing Tucker Carlson.
