    I’m going to include most leftist anarchists under the umbrella of liberal

    Most politically literate tankie.

    Tankies aren’t communists. They simp for capitalist dictatorships.

    to me, that tankie just means “someone more left than me, and that makes me angry!”

    Funny, because that’s how I feel about “liberal” whenever a tankie (i.e. a fascist) calls me one despite me being a communist.

      You still haven’t given an example of wtf you’re talking about.

      Who the fuck are these mysterious (assumedly) pro-Stalin, pro-USSR, etc. “tankies” who ALSO are pro-USA/pro-capitalism?

      Just give a name! Find a person in history or today and type their name into your text box and hit send. Is this asking a lot?

        Supporting capitalism is not equivalent to supporting the US. China and Russia are capitalist countries, and plenty of tankies will defend them tooth and nail, for example here or on Hexbear. They even claim Russia is defending Ukraine against US imperialism.

        Just go to any community on Hexbear, type a comment saying Russia is not communist, and enjoy your ban.
