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.

He’s a mod so he banned me from everywhere he could
Goes to check modlog
History of misgendering/trolling
It's a ban on midwest.social, not even .ml
Misgenders unapologetically

exactly, and the high amount of upvote is quite surprising

Always the same brigading, always the same repeating the same lies. Just for your sanity avoid .ml hex and grad.
-
Ok. Definitely a bot then. You’re just doubling down on accusing any criticism of Nazis as support for Russia, and demanding I criticize Russia in every single comment.
Shove that iron cross up your ass, and always remember that Nazi lives don’t matter.
-
I get more and more liberal every time I see some self-described leftist call people a shitlib because they’re slightly right of Pol Pit or whatever.

If just one person says your instance is a Tankie instance, it's just a one off. If everyone says/agrees your instance is a Tankie instance, it might just be a Tankie instance.

Do .ml Tankies hate the French now too?
-
Despite saying Davel banned you from "everywhere he could", you haven't been permanently banned from .ml, despite the fact that clearly you should have been
-
I didn’t peruse shit. You posted a picture of your iron cross replying to me. And you are the one trying to deflect to Russia every time someone criticizes a Nazi.
Nazi lives don’t matter.

If I were criticizing various nations more than the U.S., I wouldn't shame people for "authoritarian bootlicking". Glass houses and all that.
Everyone already shits on the US including us Americans.
It's far worse to shit on the US/West and simultaneously turn a blind eye to the atrocities of China or Russia

Is Lemmy.ml really that bad? I haven't spent enough time on lemmy to know yet.
You could also check out [email protected]
But you'll need to look at it off the .ml instance because .ml blocks that comm specifically (talk about censorship lmao)

Please enlighten us, vagueposter, what does it explain?

Oh are we doing the no true Pol Pot supporter thing now?
-
Its not about lack of nuance but more about deliberately being a useful idiot because not everyone has the patience of someone like cowbee. Let me translate your example:
- Slavery is bad.
- Slavers say Dessalines is bad.
- Therefore Dessalines is good.
Now its 2025. Dessalines is long dead and we can safely say the free people of Haiti deserved a better leader. But back in the 1800s I'd back Dessalines to the hilt because I'm carrying absolutely zero water for slavers.

Genuinely don't understand what you mean. Go to Hexbear, grad, .ml, whatever, and ask everyone's opinions on Pol Pot. It's 99% going to be negative. Reddit, however, does have quite a few Gonzaloists on r/communism now, and Gonzaloists generally defend Pol Pot as well.

and at worst they're spicy.
Did not realize looking the other way on human rights abuses or denying genocides of China/Russia was just "a little spicy"

Maybe someday, .world is 2/3rds of the way there!

Your views seem to coincide with Russian propaganda.
You know who else was a vegetarian? Hitler.
Views stand of their own merits irrespective of such coincidences.
