Apparently to the average tankie, that makes me a “liberal fascist,” whatever that is, or a zionist or an imperialist apologist or a genocide supporter or all those other things that I’m not but tankies like accusing everyone who isn’t a tankie of being.
I do plenty of calling out western dictators too. I can be anti-maga and anti-tankie. That’s something tankies can’t seem to wrap their heads around.

You overuse the word tankie. Being anti maga doesn’t make you a socialist, it makes you a liberal.

I use the word tankie a lot because there are a lot of tankies on the internet. I suppose a tankie would think that’s overusing it though. Tankies overuse words like “capitalist shitlib,” “zionist,” “fascist,” “western imperialist,” and “genocide apologist.” Those things are all deserving of critique, but I’m none of those things. And if tankies don’t stop throwing them around like meaningless insults, then they’re gonna lose their meanings and get treated like meaningless insults.
I’ve already had people tell me to stop hyperbolizing while talking about actual fascists, because people are so worn down by tankies calling everyone and their mother a fascist just for being closer to the center than a bolshevik.
I never said “I’m socialist because I’m anti-maga.” I’m socialist, and I’m anti-maga.

Socialists do not support any form of capitalism…
