the tanks ran over communist protesters. they were prostesting the slave corpo jobs invading their nation lmao but sure go ahead keep misunderstanding our culture
The term tankie dates back to 1956, when the soviets sent in tanks to crush a communist movement in Hungary. They wanted self-governance (while still being a communist nation) the soviets wanted a soviet puppet state to protect Moscow from the west.
Tankies were the subset of western communists who supported the soviets, named such by the western communists who were not authoritarian worshiping fucks.
As a Hungarian, I felt obliged to do some reading. Lo and behold, you are correct. And so, I would like to take this opportunity and say
Fuck '56 tankies, and fuck modern tankies. The paradox of tolerance holds true: if you tolerate these people’s deluded takes as ‘alernative viewpoints’, you move towards intolerance, whether you like it or not.
Listening to the Overture to Egmont as I write this.
LOL wut? Fuckin’ Tankies and making shit up. Can anybody name a more iconic duo? The protestors were pro-democracy and were shot / squished by the CCP. It wasn’t even that long ago, either. Only, what, 34 years? Amazing how much people can twist shit in such a short period of time.

You don’t have a culture, you have a eclectic group of dregs that can’t handle your reality.
That would explain why there is a video of the protesters singing “L’internacional”…but it’s still authoritarian repression.
Are you talking about the Tiananmen Square Massacre?
