Your geographic location doesn’t dictate your beliefs, opinions, etc. At all. I have a friend that grew up in America, he’s Muslim, he’s got family in Jordan IIRC. But I was like, you’re pro-America. Right? No, turns out he much prefers Jordan & wants to move someday.
Maybe you espouse tankie beliefs. Or maybe not, idk your life.
Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to communists who express support for one-party communist regimes that are associated with Marxism–Leninism, whether contemporary or historical. It is commonly used by anti-authoritarian leftists, including anarchists, libertarian socialists, left communists, democratic socialists, and reformists to criticise Leninism, although the term has seen increasing use by liberals and right‐wing factions as well
So, not me. but still random lemmy users will screech tankie at me.

Workplace democracy is tankie bullshit now? Ok then.
Right? I’m trying to figure out how I could be a tankie but also in the US…

Tankies would support the USSR (a dictatorship). This logic is Socialist. More like, pro-union, but then a bit more radical than that.
And spot on that you’d be in prison for disagreeing with your boss in the good old USSR.

Hey, just want to commend you for being so nice to that disingenuous commenter above. Thanks for making Lemmy a nice place to be :)
It’s really not. See Portland, Oregon. It’s pretty much over run with homeless people at this point.
I see a lot of that kind of sentiment here.
