    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.

        Yep. They only tolerate you as long as you’re useful. As long as you don’t push back against their mass incarceration, assassination, and even genocide. Authoritarians are authoritarian first. Left or right is a distant afterthought.

  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.

        … the root of the problem is your apparent compulsion to call people “toxic” and “assholes” for having different views.

  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 .

    • Warl0k3@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

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

        Goodness me, you are being difficult today.

        I think you can appreciate, that one user’s definition - no matter how agreeable you and I might find it - speaks to everyone’s definition of the same term.

        Especially when we are talking about colloquial slur, like tankie, which isn’t in main dictionaries.

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

  It’s the literal definition of the word.
