Oh look… the liberals are at it again.

Your whataboutism doesn’t change the fact that the west’s claims of valuing “press freedom” turning out to be completely false posits severe implications for your ideology, liberal - not anyone’s living in China.

You’re not communicating your point very well. Do you mean like neoliberal liberal or like fox news liberals?

He’s on lemmy. He def means “non-tankies”

“non-tankies”

Perhaps it’s best not to use terms you don’t understand, liberal.

😂 okay buddy.

Alright fuck it, I’ll ask: what do you think tankie means?

And more-importantly, what did you actually mean? lol

It’s very simple. “Authoritarian Communists”

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes or their allies.

The term “tankie” was originally used by dissident Marxist–Leninists to describe members of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) who followed the party line of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). Specifically, it was used to distinguish party members who spoke out in defense of the Soviet use of tanks to crush the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the 1968 Prague Spring uprising, or who more broadly adhered to pro-Soviet positions.
