No amount of socialism is going to make one support Chinese tanks rolling over protesters in Tiananmen, so I'd say that rather than being radical they're just a cult. Stalin wasn't a radical socialist; he was a power-hungry dictator who coopted socialist rhetoric. I mean what set of beliefs would you even call the non-radical version of tankiesm?

Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Rules:

  1. No bigotry of any kind.
  2. No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
  3. No genocide denial

We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.
