Seems reasonable to me. It’s strange to me how these people hate US liberals, never say a word about US conservatives, and love Russia and China, despite none of those things being in line with their professed beliefs.
You can’t be pro worker and pro China, the literal sweatshop nation.
Tankies go out of their way to defend an absolute hereditary monarchy just because the Kim Dynasty says they are communist, defending China is nothing in comparison. They are the same kind of idiots as the ones that fell for the “Sozialistische Arbeiterpartei” (socialist workers party) part of the NSAPD’s (aka Nazi party) name.
They’re not talking about liberals in the way the word is used in contemporary American politics, they’re using the classical definition of liberal which fits most mainstream Americans be them democrats or republicans.
Right, I understand that distinction, but their philosophy doesn’t make sense or hold consistence even in that context. The highest scorn is reserved for the most socialist American politicians, and American conservatives are pretty much 100% in line with the politics of Russia, other than gun control. Also, it makes no sense to revere China and Russia due to their governments being communist 60 years ago, because they are not now. Most of the discussion seems to be about foreign policy with little regard given to workers’ rights or economics.
Sincerely, thank you. Fuck these fascist edgelords.
I’m not even communist — rather a Georgist myself — but it’s so fun to portray THEM as the conservative reactionaries and paid shills. They literally don’t even know how to properly respond. The best part is everything I said is 100% true: tankies ARE in fact errand boys for the imperial elites. Or at the very least useful idiots.

It’s so unreal for me, that they’d champion Russia and China of all places. I remember reading a comment from one tankie defending Xi removing his own term limit. “Clearly people like him, he has overwhelming poll numbers. Depriving them of the chance to continue to vote for him would be undemocratic”
Huh. Just like Putin’s “nullification”
Depriving them of the chance to continue to vote for him would be undemocratic
Oh man, the irony. Do they not remember that China doesn’t even pretend to have national popular elections? The people can’t vote for Xi even if they actually wanted to!
