Communists and fascists are diametric opposites. Communists seek to collectivize production and distribution to fulfill the needs of everyone. Fascists seek the preservation of private property and the extermination of labor organizers. Lazily equating the two and doing nothing to back it up is just “enlightened” centrism.

Same sentence, new era

“Tankie” is just a pejorative for communist, though. That’s like saying you said “commie,” not “communist.”

It isn’t

It is, though. “Tankie” isn’t an ideology, it’s a pejorative typically used against Marxists that serves as a strawman of Marxist beliefs.
