Tankies have no meaningful communism to defend. They’re not defending communist states, they’re defending a right wing authoritarian oligarchy, and an authoritarian corporatocracy. They’re not ideologues. They’re contrarian bootlickers.

    If you read their rhetoric, tankies do tend to defend communism in general. They grab the theories of Marx and Lenin and whatever to do this.

    Oh I wasn’t advocating for communism. Or saying these states are failed because it’s not “real communism.” I’m saying the users on here who defend Russia and China aren’t defending communism. They’re defending one brand of authoritarianism because it happens to be anti western.
