Problem is even though us MLs know what this LaRouchite-adjacent shit is all about the liberals and western leftists will 100% believe this is what "tankies" are like
Very true. They, liberals and western leftists, don't even properly understand the meaning of 90% of the words they use amongst themselves. This is why I don't bother engaging them on any sort of political level because it would require sitting them down for 10 years to properly educate them first. Take for instance the term "liberal". They seem to think that this word simply means you ride a bike and believe LGBT people deserve rights, instead of referring to privatization and social atomization. At that level, both of the mainstream political parties in the US are liberal, they just differ in the areas of certain social issues. It is entirely possible to be a socially-progressive anti-liberal, but to an American's ears if they hear me say I'm not liberal, they will immediately assume I like Tucker Carlson and the Koch brothers.
