    Tankies are people who defend China (and originally the USSR)/any “communist” countries actions no matter what. While Xi is undoubtedly a tanky, the meme is just calling him a communist. Which isn’t even accurate honestly. I really wish we could move past communist/socialist being an insult. It isn’t. Any student of economics knows that the US and every European nation uses several of Marx’s 10 pillars of a communist society and socialist ideas.

    Pure capitalism hasn’t been around since the great depression for a reason. We’ve slowly matched back that direction since like the 50-60s. Which is a reason for a lot of the economic issues experienced in the West lately… We’re back to the age of robber barrens. It’s pretty lit.
