So I made a comment on worldnews criticizing Chinese activity in the south china sea and apparently got banned for it by the automod. This happen to anyone else? Is this Lemmy's version of the need help post and the shape of things to come?

Funny, communists always insist China isn't communist at all, so why would they care about it being criticized?

Tankies aren't that type of communist, that is, sane. Tankies are auth rights disguised as leftists.

Aren't tankies authoritarian leftists? What's "right" about them?

Marx encouraged fascist dictatorships as a method to bring about the proletariat revolution.

And this is why dictators love the, "give me just a little more power and once it's secured I'll hand it all back to the people, pinky swear" schtick.

If you go by the origin of the division and their definitions, they certainly are right. Authoritarian gov means centralising power. People arguing for the Ancient Regime were also pushing better for the people rethoric.

Besides, they are supporting a state that is closest to a nazi state. russia.

I disagree, they're firmly authleft, the problem is "auth."

Being authoritarian about leftist ideals doesn't secretly make you right wing because "authoritarian = right wing." Leftism isn't "when good," you can have bad leftists and pretending otherwise is nothing more than delusion.

Potatoes potatoes.

Because the only stance that tankies actually hold is "America bad", to the degree that anyone that is an opponent of America must automatically be good and must be supported at all costs

The communists who say China isn't communist aren't the ones that go to bat for them.
