Oh look a tankie trying to push bullshit tankie rhetoric.
Last time I checked I didn’t get thrown into prison for life, shot or run over by tanks because I disagreed with my boss.
I swear that tankies logic is that of a person who gets busted doing meth in the bathroom at work and then complains when they get fired, claiming their boss is an “oppressive fascist”.

Oh please, the intention of this post is so fucking transparent in its tankie rhetoric of trying to paint the west as an evil blight.

Right? I’m trying to figure out how I could be a tankie but also in the US…

Your geographic location doesn’t dictate your beliefs, opinions, etc. At all. I have a friend that grew up in America, he’s Muslim, he’s got family in Jordan IIRC. But I was like, you’re pro-America. Right? No, turns out he much prefers Jordan & wants to move someday.
Maybe you espouse tankie beliefs. Or maybe not, idk your life.

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to communists who express support for one-party communist regimes that are associated with Marxism–Leninism, whether contemporary or historical. It is commonly used by anti-authoritarian leftists, including anarchists, libertarian socialists, left communists, democratic socialists, and reformists to criticise Leninism, although the term has seen increasing use by liberals and right‐wing factions as well
So, not me. but still random lemmy users will screech tankie at me.

The world is bigger than the USA. Most western capitalist democracies do not have medical care or insurance tied to employment.
And your example of people “ending up on the streets” is such a fucking edge case. So don’t try and paint it like this is an every day occurrence you disingenuous extremist.

Yeah more sensationalist unsubstantiated tankie bullshit. Good little tankie drone.
You lot live in a fucking fantasy world. You would run a mile if you ever had to live in one of your “socialist paradise” tankie regimes.
Here is an idea. You could move to one of them if the west is so bad. Oh no that’s right, you lot just like to cry “west of bad” while idolising countries with a laundry list of genocides, atrocities and human rights abuses from the comfort of your western democratic basements.

It’s really not. See Portland, Oregon. It’s pretty much over run with homeless people at this point.

I see a lot of that kind of sentiment here.

Tankies would support the USSR (a dictatorship). This logic is Socialist. More like, pro-union, but then a bit more radical than that.
And spot on that you’d be in prison for disagreeing with your boss in the good old USSR.

Perhaps you are right there.
