      I never said that Communism necessarily becomes authoritarian. But, as someone who has a strong dislike for authoritarianism, I’m not interested in Communism which involves it.

        Sure, but I mean at what point, right?

        To cut to the chase, I’m asking what specifically separates Tankies from Communists. Where is the line drawn? I see a lot of people (myself included) labeled a tankie for recommending people read Marx, or saying that Lenin was a Marxist, regardless of if you agree with him or not.

        At what point would a Communist be considered a tankie?

          I thought that the line was that one supports owning the means of production and the other supports authoritarian governments, am I confused?
