Wtf? Are you an agitator or a poser or what? Did you even read what they said? This is what you call “describing every serious communist”, emphasis mine
But that isnt what a tankie is for me. For me a tankie is someone appologetic to and or denial of the horrible attrocities, undemocratic and dictatorial ways, supression and crushing demonstrations with force, imperialism, denying of freedom in all ways, speech, publication, travel and more, enrichement of them and their ruling class buddys on the exploitation of the workers, not caring about the workers and their lifes, and more, by mao’s and current china, north korea, vietnam, soviet union and its puppet states (poland, east germany, romania, hungary, czechia, slovakia, slovenia, bulgaria, albania), yugoslavia, cuba and others.
What of the bolded portions are you claiming to be a part of communism?
Gee I wonder why 🙄 it’s almost as if there have been hundreds of years+ of empires with a problem with any kind of actually solution focused party
