So does this include all Communists or just authoritarian communism? aka red fash
Definitely not all communists or socialists, at least that was not the case for the subreddit. I'm pretty sure the mod for this community put out a clarification post if you want to check it out.
Thanks
Noone except some liberals refer to non-authoritarian communists as tankies, and even then when they do that they know they're being misleading
Thanks for clarifying.
Dangle that slender thread of hope, tankie.
Case in point.
You should be more appreciative... the other option is to call you chekists.
So what, I say mean things about some liberals and now suddenly I'm a Stalinist?
Maybe I'll be willing to concede that it could also be stupidity instead of deliberate misleading.
Say mean things about liberals all you want - I'll happily upvote you if they hit the mark. But don't pretend that the term "tankie" wasn't invented for a damn good reason - it was. And the fact that some liberals now abuse the term (just like they abuse the term "radical") to peddle their bootlicker agendas doesn't change that.
Then you clearly didn't read my comment. I was specifically referring to people that call non-authoritarian communists tankies. Because the person I was responding to was asking whether it refers to all communists or authoritarian communists, and I was saying that anyone that uses it to mean all communists rather than authoritarian communists shouldn't be taken seriously.
Frankly, it's ridiculous that I have to explain this, it's extremely obvious if you merely read the comment I responded to and then read my comment. Or have seen the other comment in the thread, where I made fun of a tankie that was mad people were calling them a tankie.
I was one of the people saying we should defederate lemmygrad, I was referring to them as tankies. I obviously am not against the use of the term.
You're acting like a clown. You're arguing against things I never said and never claimed. And it's really weird how quickly you jump to conclusions based on me making fun of some (some, not even all!) liberals in the process of conveying that tankie means authoritarian communist.
Fine. You win.
