I don’t call someone a tankie based on where they post, but in what they post. If you don’t want to be called a tankie, then don’t post tankie shit.

Kind of rude of you to agree with me

Telling someone to read Marx to understand modern day socialism is like telling someone to read Newton to understand modern day physics tbh.

Can’t eat the rich without some utensils

America bad does not imply China good.

See that’s the thing: the fact that the west lies doesn’t mean that the east tells the truth. You are heavily skeptical of what the west has to say (good) but mostly uncritical of what any communist government has to say (bad).

Capitalist countries have done horrible things, but so have self-proclaimed communist countries

Have you never heard the phrase “the ends justify the means” before? It’s a pretty common phrase.

It means that any action, no matter how unethical or morally reprehensible, is acceptable as long as it is done to accomplish a goal that is deemed good.

This is the tankie attitude.

To reject this means that there are limitations on what actions are acceptable in pursuit of a goal. That there are some actions that are too repugnant to be justified.

I mean it kind of is you guys need to do a better job with the propagandizing.

Walks like a duck, talks like a duck, swims like a duck, annexes other countries like a duck. But it insists it’s a platypus so I guess we’ll pretend it’s a mammal.

Lol okay, sure, yeah. Only the capitalist class. Got it.
