Um no, most don't want just more authoritarianism. Tankies are genocide deniers or look the other way on the many human rights abuses whenever the government doing it is China or Russia.
Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof. More specifically, the term has been applied to those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics, 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 liberal and right‐wing factions as well.
If it’s a pejorative term, then you’re not building the justification for its usage that you think you are.

Yeah, we have nationalists here who also try to claim their spin on a Third Reich symbol has an alternate meaning.
The ones here do the same thing, pretending to be freedom loving fighters who don’t realize they’re walking around with a Nazi dick in their mouth.

You realize our comment histories our free for the folks reading to go through? They’ll see I’ve already discussed Russia war crimes with you, and not defended them. They’ll also see you jumping into multiple threads to defend Nazis being criticized in the comments.
Now why would a guy who claims to hate Nazis keep popping up to defend them? Hmm.

That makes you transphobic

That word is factually a slur, and continuing to use it when told it makes others uncomfortable is shitty behavior, not to mention transphobic and bigoted.

You. And you can't say different cause wikipedia.
It's not that the wiki article is wrong, it's that your applying it wrong. That's propaganda bubby

Always the same brigading, always the same repeating the same lies. Just for your sanity avoid .ml hex and grad.

Yeah, they are public. They'll see you've never admitted to them. You just constantly claim you have, while being utterly scared and shaking in your pink panties afraid of just saying "yes, Russia commits horrific war crimes and Putin should be held responsible for all his crimes".
They'll also see that I'm in the Finnish reserves and you're a child who can't do anything except keep hitting the floor, crying, screaming "Nazi nazi nazi" because I have military training and you do not, and you're jealous, so you keep reiterating "you must be a nazi because of a cross THAT IS UBIQUITOUS in military insignia which I'm gonna keep having an itkupotkuraivari and pretend is a nazi symbol".
I remember you ran from the thread were in last time as well, and not a single time have you answered the question. Just like Davel, you pathetically think you can actually get away with "I've already answered that several times" when everyone can see you haven't.
Are you excited about your upcoming military service, kiddo? You get to suck fascist Russian military cock and be blown up to millions of pieces by Ukrainian drones.
I love watching videos of orcs blowing up.

Censorship in the People's Republic of China (PRC) is mandated by the country's ruling party, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). It is one of the strictest censorship regimes in the world. The government censors content for mainly political reasons, such as curtailing political opposition, and censoring events unfavorable to the CCP, such as the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre, pro-democracy movements in China, the persecution of Uyghurs in China, human rights in Tibet, Falun Gong, pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, and aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since Xi Jinping became the general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (de facto paramount leader) in 2012, censorship has been "significantly stepped up".

I didn't.
I simply pointed out that [email protected] saying things like "reality has a well known Russian propaganda bias" would be extremely weird for an actual "red blooded, born&bred American", which he claims to be.
So he just as an American patriot learned to speak Russian and won't answer the question of "are you pro-Russian" while actively pushing Russian propaganda?
communists actually are not a fan of fascists
Fun fact, both are totalitarian authoritarianist forms as OF now.
We'll check again about communism when we get to Star Trek levels of utopia, mkay?
So he just as an American patriot
Someone can be born & raised in America and yet not be patriotic to the American empire. We're not uncommon.
learned to speak Russian
What are you even talking about? You don't have to learn Russian to listen to Jeffery Sachs, John Mearsheimer, Noam Chomsky or Chris Hedges.

The communists fought the Spanish and Axis fascists, and horseshoe theory is garbage.

So you think you really want to argue Putin's illegal invasion of Ukraine, all the warcrimes Russians are pulling, and you're gonna defend that by saying Russians are the heroically invading Ukraine to save Ukraine?
Guess you haven't yet understood the essence of Russian propaganda; deny and obfuscate, never actually answer anything.
Anyone actually engaging with any Russian propaganda knows it breaks down at the slightest touch.
I don't want to take up the whole page with this, so I'll just list the sub-headers;
Prohibited weapons, Abduction and deportation, Attacks on civilians, Unlawful wanton destruction or appropriation of property, Attacks on hospitals and medical facilities, Destruction of energy infrastructure, Destruction and theft of cultural heritage, Torture of civilians, Use of human shields, Sexual violence, Looting, Forced conscription, Mistreatment of prisoners of war, Genocide
We all know Ukraine is the good side. They may have some baddies on their side (one battalion of crazy fucks), but Russia has way more companies filled with rapists, thieves, murderers taken out of prisons and shipped to the front.
Kindly fuck of to the front lines to feed the drones so we don't need to hear from you anymore.
No, I just wanted to demonstrate that their principle of "you must believe vexatious genocide accusation" only seems to apply to ones made by the West.
Anyway, nice essay, but given it's unrelated to the point, I'm not reading it.

Less than a third of a page. ~150 words. "Essay." Russian reading skills have really gone down since Tolstoy, apparently.
Thanks for that comment though, it exemplifies why people should stay away from lemmy.ml.
"Oh my government disappears people, attacks civilians, hospitals, destroys cultural heritage, rapes, and forcefully relocates children? I'mma pretend I didn't see that."
That's so inhumane and disgusting it turns my stomach.

General sentiment doesn't matter. It's when you, for example, point out that [email protected] is a Russian disinformation agent. He is literally Russian, he's cleaned up his profiles now, but when I started looking into that account I found several alts on other instances with communication in Russian. Like there wasn't even a hint of suspicion if he was Russian or not.
But [email protected] account adamantly insists that they are American "born and bred", while still literally saying Putin is right to invade Ukraine, denying Uyghyr genocide, denying Russian war crimes, posted tons in the run up to the US presidential election about "don't vote genocide joe" and all that "avoid voting no matter what" bullshit as an intentional push to instigate apathy in American voters to decrease voter turnout.
Him, antioutsideaktion, it's rather trivial to recognise them.
And the simplest way is to ask them "are you pro-Russian". Davel is afraid of answering it, despite clearly and vocally supporting Russian propaganda, even going so far as to literally say "reality has a well known Russian propaganda bias". I mean, literally.
And after saying that, he still won't say he's Russian. And pretends to be American? What a patriot, right?
He's a mod so he banned me from everywhere he could. Nowadays he doesn't really even dare to participate on lemmy.world so I don't engage him.
"Look at me, look at me. I am the moderator now."
Uyghyr genocide
Lol

i agree, commies trying to claim FOSS is really a stretch, they are desperate to pretend to be relevant
Speaking of pretending to be relevant, how ancient are you that you still use the word "commies"?

Not a fan of transphobic slurs. Going out of your way to make sure you can see them is sus.

Centrists will find some new instance, designate it the "tankie instance" and repeat the process.
Honestly I kind of want .world to defederate just to see which instance becomes the new tankie instance.

Personally I’m a big fan of McCartneyism-Lennonism.
I’ve been thinking of making an alt at ml for that reason.

If you want access to Grad or Hex, that works.

Extremism, whatever route it takes, is a byproduct of social isolation.
Under what definition of “extremism” is this not a ridiculous statement? Becoming “extremist” is orthogonal to one’s level of social isolation or inclusion. How isolated were the Gazans on Oct. 7th or the prisoners in the Sobibor uprising?
