Dunking on Tankies from a leftist perspective.

A tankie is someone who defends/supports authoritarian or even totalitarian regimes who call themselves "socialist". The term originated from people supporting the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union. Nowadays they are just terminally online, denying genocides, and falling for totalitarian propaganda and calling such regimes "true democracies". remember to censor usernames when necessary.

I was banned from communities there for "facism" and "nationalism".......

I'm center-left BTW.... Not "left" enough for them, it seems.......

It makes sense; the leaders they admire ban people from real life for questioning the narrative. They're just doing in kind with the limited little bit of power they have right now.

Why they think they'd be in the "good" grouping if this stuff comes to power in the West, I have no idea. You'll notice that precisely 0 of the people posting are (openly) coming from mainland China, and precisely 0 of them have any plans to move there at any point now or in the future.
