Nah g I’m not a fan of anybody who makes excuses for genocide, oppression of LGBTQIA+ folks, “forced resettlement”, or authoritarianism in general.
Tankies are nowhere near as bad as the far right but they’re hardly allies. Historically, any time authoritarian leftists have taken control they’ve murdered all the anti-authoritarian leftists they could find in order to cement their power.
Fun fact Cuba is currently the best for LGBT rights, and the reunification of Germany dragged east germany decades back in LGBT progress… just some food for thought
Didn’t Cuba only legalise gay marriage last year? Also the CCP (which I don’t consider to be Leftist but tankies seem to love) only allows hetero couples to adopt and still doesn’t allow gay marriage.
You’re not going to change my mind. Some auth-left states doing good things doesn’t change the fact that authoritarianism is an oppressive system that I think we should leave in the past. The USA occasionally does things that I agree with too, but that doesn’t make their government ethical, doesn’t excuse the atrocities they’ve committed, and doesn’t make liberal late-stage capitalism a good system to idolise.

Me on my way to commit genocide, oppress the LGBTQ+ community, forcefully resettle minorities, and engage in authority.

That fictional tankie in your head living rent-free would like you to defederate
