      Like clockwork, tankies will call actual leftists “liberals” everytime someone mentions that tankies are fascists who support capitalist imperialism from Russia and China.

      Yes, the famous communist fascist. His name is Stalin. You’ve probably heard of him.

      In a world gone mad, you’d have to be insane to be sane.

  That’s true but not useful.

  It’s probably better to describe both ideologies as extreme-authoritarian or totalitarian. They’re about equally undesirable; when someone has a boot on your throat, it doesn’t matter much whether it’s the right boot or the left boot.
