      This one gets me the most.

      “Tankie” literally just is a slur for socialists in modern parlance. It’s basically just like calling someone “Anarkiddie”

      It means fucking nothing and is used as a lazy reason for dissmissing one’s views and goals.

        “Tankie” and “authoritarianism” are two everclear signifiers that a person is talking out of their ass.

          also calling Mao’s revolution “conquest” like bruh the only place that could even possibly apply to is Tibet and they were literally a SLAVE STATE. Fuck Tibet I’m glad they got liberated.
