Hope y’all are happy with NSPM-7…

Edit: thanks for the down votes, can’t wait for the mods here to delete this, sorry for getting it off my chest, I guess y’all will be happy with the ‘tankies’ being rounded up by a fascist state…

    Not just a communist. A tankie is a person who says they like leftist policy and ideals but then go on to honor authoritarians who used leftist language to secure their power. See: leninism, maoism, all the fools constantly praising China while crapping on the US, all the fools sucking off the USSR even though it was never socialist…

    They’re generally immature and under-educated buffoons who think they like leftist policy but still have such a pathetically tiny understanding of authority, governance, and policy that they’ll praise authoritarians in one breath and claim to actually be an anarchist in the next.

      Despite what you say it is still internet slang for a commie, facts don’t care about your feelings…

        lol it’s pejorative slang with extra connotation… It is, in fact, not the same word as communism. Learn what words mean, scrub.

        Problem here is the tankies so derided here have feelings that don’t care about facts.

        These are folks who consider China, N. Korea, and Russia to be ideal havens of the workers, regardless of any contrasting data.

          I’ve never once heard a tankie espouse those ideas except in regards to China, which is a haven for workers compared to the USA…

            Your personal ignorance proves nothing except how pathetic you are for acting so confidant while admittedly not having much experience…
