Those fucking tankies.
Your instance, Lemmy.today, federates with Hexbear. We don't. Not all criticism of capitalism is in the service of dictatorship.
Anarchists invented the term 'tankie' to describe authoritarian defenders of the USSR in our fight for survival against attack, imprisonment, and assassination by agents of the Bolshevik state. This is an anarchist meme, posted by an anarchist, on a Lemmy instance run by anarchists. You're using the word wrong.
If you see authoritarianism whenever people criticize neoliberal government, the problem is you. Fix your brain rot.
It's an anti-democracy and anti-western-powers meme by a "Socialist", self identifying in the tags. This is core Tanky-ism.
You wouldn't know a tankie if one rolled over you with tracked treads.
The core of the term 'tankie' comes from when the USSR sent tanks into Hungary in 1956 to institute a pro-Warsaw Pact regime change. Western governments are also big fans of sending mechanized infantry to install dictators. If you are an ideological partisan of western 'democracy' you have more in common with tankies than the poster does.
Oh OK Boomer, sorry for using the word Tankie to describe anybody other than a 1948 Hungarian/Bulgarian USSR sympathizer. /s
You're doing a really bad job of concealing your fascist sympathies.
Lmao
Insulting Hexbear for actual Fascism is what Fascism is to you?
Simultaneously believing "Nazis were bad and actually socialist" and "Nazis were okay because they fought Russia, who were actually fascist" is a pretty big red fascist flag.
I'll go over it with you one more time. I'm accusing the USSR fantasizers of being ideologically aligned with nazis.
Personal Sidenote, that is not why nazis were bad, you fucking moron. There are many great reasons aside from the origin of their moniker.
