They're the exact opposite of a fascist...

[-] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 46 points 2 weeks ago

Tankies are fascists with left wing aesthetics.

[-] logicbomb@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

It's sometimes called red fascism.

[-] alphabethunter@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Ah yes, the famous communist fascist... You liberals are just insane.

[-] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 14 points 2 weeks ago

Like clockwork, tankies will call actual leftists "liberals" everytime someone mentions that tankies are fascists who support capitalist imperialism from Russia and China.

Yes, the famous communist fascist. His name is Stalin. You've probably heard of him.

In a world gone mad, you have to be insane to stay sane.

Is the owner a tankie? (stalin justifier) I thought they were just communists, many of whom I know actually hate stalin.

I don't know which label is the most accurate, but he supports Putin's war, which lands him in the "shitbag" category. Being technically not fascist does not negate supporting the military invasion of a sovereign country, the ethnic cleansing of its people, and the rape, murder, and torture committed by the invaders.

Well no shit, I was just wondering. Damn tho wtf?

[-] Scirocco@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

But just* as extremist.....

  • Approximately. How is this sort of thing measured objectively?
[-] tofu@lemmy.nocturnal.garden 5 points 2 weeks ago

Political "extremity" can't be measured objectively.

[-] thelittleblackbird@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

How, because Overton window says the opposite

[-] Zak@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

That's true but not useful.

It's probably better to describe both ideologies as extreme-authoritarian or totalitarian. They're about equally undesirable; when someone has a boot on your throat, it doesn't matter much whether it's the right boot or the left boot.
