  As a socialist, you will understand I’m sure that constant being slurred with “tANkiE” from mostly .world users is very tiring

      Or socialism.

      They used a political slur against entire servers and on the left, there is a concept of solidarity.

        Solidarity with authoritarians has a long and sordid history of betrayal and being lined up against walls in the end. Anarchists have had to learn that lesson in the most brutal of ways.

    There’s a difference between being a socialist, and blindly defending authoritarian regimes that claim they are socialist. Those instances earned their reputation for a reason.

      Make it a stickie, because barely anyone observes this definition.

      I am regularly slurred as Russian bot or a tANkiE when calling for peace and de-escalation of war.

      Daily .

        Have you stopped to consider that maybe you’re just an asshole?

        No, seriously, you’re whining about being called a tankie when… like dude, you’re a tankie. Half your comments are just bringing up how EU/UK support for Ukraine’s defense is a frivolous waste or similar. I doubt you think of yourself like this but to an outside observer you’re deeply toxic.

    There’s a huge difference between a tankie and a socialist:

    • Socialist supports economic policy aimed at just distribution of resources
    • Tankie supports fascist-like authoritarianism under a mask of socialism

      How you choose define it changes nothing .

        Uh… Yeah, it does. It literally defines the meaning and the context in which the term is used. Thats… that’s how language works.

    It’s fair to call people who white-wash authoritarianism, genocide and roleplay as communists tankies.

    It’s the literal definition of the word.
