Tankies are right wing. Watch them make excuses for Russia and say NATO should pull out of Ukraine. Watch them say a Trump presidency is better than the alternative.

Tankies are factually left-wing. Their actions, however, sometimes play into the deck of right-wingers when they try to fuck around with the system.

no they have right wing ideals. they just use left wing terminology to push a right wing worldview.

“TaNkIeS hAvE rIgHtWiNg IdEaLs”

The ideals: collectivisation of the means of production and of agricultural land, guaranteed employment, guaranteed housing, free universal healthcare and education to the highest level, guaranteed public pensions, equalization of wages between jobs, push towards unionisation, defence of LGTBQ and women’s rights, defence of indigenous movements and racial minorities, anti-racism, anti-imperialism…

So anyway, here’s the second-most-senior admin of lemmy.ml:

And they’re an absolute dick for saying that, what’s your point

A tankie who is in charge of the biggest tankie instance is a conservative reactionary. Your movement is being led by right wingers. The rightism goes all the way to the top.
