    I’m confused. What are you saying? That word is thrown around against socialists. Tankies is often used to shut someone down and ignore what they’re saying no matter how correct it is, or how little it has to do with Marxism.

      Probably because Marxism is an inherently flawed political system, and every country that has ever attempted it has quickly become a hellhole.

        What is “inherently flawed” about Marxism? Furthermore, all major AES states have been dramatic improvements on what came before, from the brutal Tsarist Russia, to the poor agrarian Nationalist China, to the fascist slave economy of Cuba, Socialism has made a massive improvement compared to previous systems for these countries.

        You can check out my introductory reading list on Marxism if you want a better understanding of Marxism.

      Socialism is not a problem.

      Hell. Communism is not a problem.

      Implementation of communism and the defense of their (supposed!) Implementors is the problem.

      Tankies defend russia, a nazi state. While shoving slurs at anyone in the western world. And calling them a nazi.

      Tankies blindly salivate at what China is doing. Always explaining every horrific thing that had happened as a necessity. Then throwing slurs at anyone that disagrees. And banning when their logic is dismantled.

      Tankies are defending NK. Disinfo nort korea normal people started on lemmy precisely when NK sent shells to russia.
