I'll take a non-maga right wing user over a tankie any day. It's not even close.

Authoritarian Communism or Socialism. They are generally in favor of a strong military and central state government that projects power and maintains social order, and ideally social progress through strict law and order methods people who look at Mao and Stalin as necessary or a net gain at least, hopefully they aren't into Pol Pot's methodology, as it was clear his primary objective was to constantly purge his own supporters while trying to starve and kill anyone that wasn't a multi generational rice farmer of strictly Cambodian ethnicity or identity. But Pol Pot isn't like totally out of pocket for what they'd like to see happen either. So yeah. Authoritarian Communism or Socialism, police state, rolling tanks over disodances. Hence Tankies.

They are not called tankies because of rolling tanks though

The term "tankie" was originally used by dissident Marxist–Leninists to describe members of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) who followed the party line of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). Specifically, it was used to distinguish party members who spoke out in defence of the Soviet use of tanks to suppress the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the 1968 Prague Spring, or who more broadly adhered to pro-Soviet positions.[6][7]

From Wikipedia

Do you actually don't know, or is this step one of a contrarian about to start their brilliant exposé?

Lets assume this is sincere and you don't have access to a search engine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

edit: 2 years on Lemmy and you don't know what a tankie is, lucky you

I'm asking since i was wondering what they meant by it. Have seen the word but never bothered to look it up, and instead of infering the meaning I asked.

Don't use Wikipedia as a source if you want to come off as serious. Thats like, middle school level knowledge, at least in our schools. You still haven't told me, and I guess that i'll find several definitions, cause that's usually how it goes.

I was spot on.

[–] teslasaur@lemmy.world -1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

About being condescending? Yes, you are. You showed what level you're on by sending a Wikipedia link.

You're like one of those troglodytes that answer a question with a lmgtfy-link unsarcastically.

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Says the person who's been here for two years and doesn't know what a Tankie is.

You should be clicking those lmgtfy links btw.

Why? It's similar but worse, driven by irrational anxiety with less reason and more potential to do the world harm...
