Pretty sure people hate tankies because they defend dictators like Putin and Jinping, not because they want socialism.
When you start denying genocide, it doesn't matter how good your economic policy is.
Anyway, Slava Ukraini.
Xi Jinping is not a dictator by any stretch of the word. The Communist Party of China enjoys some of the highest government approval rates in the world, by a long shot, according to western sources:
Notice how Russia's government approval rate is low. As a tankie myself, this is easily explained by the fact that they're not communists, and in fact the government is shitting on everything that communism did in the region in the past century. Ukraine had no war with Russia during Socialism, and in fact was saved from Nazi Extermination and thrived under Soviet Rule.
Since you care so much about Ukrainians:
Surely, seeing the horrifying demographic crisis taking place in Ukraine for rhe past 35 years coinciding with the dissolution of the Soviet Union, you condemn its contemporary capitalist government and want socialism back? If so, welcome aboard, comrade
Okay, but have you considered that the 90% of those 1.3B Chinese residents who like their government and want to keep it are simply brainwashed, ignorant, or stupid?
What if White People simply know better? What if there's some kind of burden White People carry, where they're socially obligated to go all around the world and politely inform the native populations that their lives are Bad Aktuly and they need to do things the White Way? What if imperialism is a moral imperative, because White People are just better at doing government than their non-White Peers?
Have you considered that, though? I'm just being realistic! I have science! Read the Bell Curve! Look at the brain pans! The Slavic Skull simply cannot contain the ideas necessary for a liberal democracy, so we have to bomb them until they behave. If you suggest otherwise, you're actually doing genocide by not invading them.
Silly tank E. The thought police, which are totally real (trust me bro), will come after any who dare express dissent. This is why we enlightened westerners with our Enlightenment(TM) values need to support the US invasion of China across the Taiwan Strait while also pretending it was actually China who struck first (just like the heckin' unwholesome Vietcong 😡 did at the Gulf of Tonkin) and that Taiwan is actually a sovereign state fighting off an imperialist invader instead of a puppet government for the wholesome keanu chungus defenders of democracy.
Slobber Tie Won! Down with Zizzy Ping!
I see through your sarcasm. This is a Reddit-tier bannable offense. -100 Credit Score Points. Don't make me report you to your landlord.
Communists critically support Russia insofar as they oppose western imperialism and ally with socialist countries and the global south. Communists support popular leaders like Xi Jinping, and the PRC in general, because of the tremendous strides they've made in uplifting the working classes in their countries. Not sure what you're referring to here by saying "genocide denial."
Perfect example of propagandized individuals hating communists because of propaganda.
I deny lots of genocides. For example, when Elon Musk talks about the "white genocide" I deny that. But somehow libs have gotten it in their heads that claims of genocide get to bypass all standards of evidence and fact-checking, because if you don't immediately accept it without evidence, it means you're a genocide denier, a bad person, basically a fascist who shouldn't even be engaged with (conveniently averting the need to provide evidence). The state is more than happy to exploit this nonsense by putting out claims of genocide with zero credible evidence, because they know you'll do this.
Broke: Defending Dictators
Woke: Regime Change
Around here we don't fuck with Tankies. We only take you seriously if you're on an aircraft carrier that just finished carpet bombing in the Middle East.
Anyway, are you unaware of the fascist origins of “Slava Ukraini,“ or are you using it despite knowing better?
You fucking moron
Tankies are just authoritarians wearing a leftist outfit. It doesn't matter what labels or symbols they claim, I wouldn't consider them part of the left, and they shouldn't be tolerated in leftist spaces either IMHO.
Marxists are absolutely leftists, and are in charge of history's most significant and largest leftist systems.
