      false trichotomy. Like… super false, to the point of being nonsensical. I never even claimed to be anti-communist, but tankies are really stupid communists whose main theory is not “communism is good” but “the west is always wrong, more often than a broken clock.”

        No false trichotomy. Liberals are the moderate wing of fascism.

        Earlier you called tankies “liberals” here you call them “stupid communists”. Which is it?

        What is your level of understanding of communism that you feel comfortable making that judgment?

        What is the difference between a “tankie” and a Marxist-leninist in your eyes?

          Who the fuck taught you how politics works? liberals are left wing, tankies are radical left, fascists are radical right,

          A marxist or a leninist is a type of communist, whereas a tankie pretends to care about communism while really only caring about talking about how the west is always wrong, and always the worst thing about the world, and how Russia, China, and the Middle East are always fine and can never do anything wrong (especially in comparison to the west).

            You never answered what, specifically, is the difference between a Marxist-leninist and a “tankie”.

            Do you understand that a Marxist-leninist is a specific tendency?

            If communism isn’t in opposition to the capitalist hegemony of the west, what is it?

              Communism is a different economic theory.

              tankies are opposed to every single thing about the west. If Joe Biden said that pizza tasted good, tankies would stop eating it.

                  I said weird communists. Communists who are less concerned with communism and more concerned with a stupid, simplistic, geographic theory of international politics.

                    So tankies are communists?

                    What is a tendency that understands international politics better? What theory have you read recently that you recommend?
