Welcome to lemmy newbies, here is your first official feud post.

Um no, most don't want just more authoritarianism. Tankies are genocide deniers or look the other way on the many human rights abuses whenever the government doing it is China or Russia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof. More specifically, the term has been applied to those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics, whether contemporary or historical. It is commonly used by anti-authoritarian leftists, including anarchists, libertarian socialists, left communists, democratic socialists, and reformists to criticise Leninism, although the term has seen increasing use by liberal and right‐wing factions as well.

I'm not gonna be equipped to make a nuanced and detailed take right now but in my experience hexbears are alright, fun to talk to, I can learn things from them, and at worst they're spicy.

and at worst they're spicy.

Did not realize looking the other way on human rights abuses or denying genocides of China/Russia was just "a little spicy"

[-] greywolf0x1@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

exactly, and the high amount of upvote is quite surprising

If just one person says your instance is a Tankie instance, it's just a one off. If everyone says/agrees your instance is a Tankie instance, it might just be a Tankie instance.

Authoritarian bootlickers is ironic, while at leats the Americans are watch their country go full authoritarian fascist right now.

And actively defend when their preferred side talks about having the biggest military budget and loves war as a method of spurring the economy!

Is Lemmy.ml really that bad? I haven't spent enough time on lemmy to know yet.

[-] verdigris@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 day ago

Yeah, if you're pathologically afraid of actual communist theory.

Um no, you and your fellow Tankies support Authoritarian communism

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof. More specifically, the term has been applied to those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics, whether contemporary or historical. It is commonly used by anti-authoritarian leftists, including anarchists, libertarian socialists, left communists, democratic socialists, and reformists to criticise Leninism, although the term has seen increasing use by liberal and right‐wing factions as well.

I for one wouldn't mind seeing the fall of capitalism in my lifetime, but not to replace it with just another flavor of authoritarianism.

Yes, go post anything negative about China and it'll be removed under Rule 1 guaranteed

Go post about tiananmen square or the uyghur genocide or even just you don't feel like people are very free in China with all the censorship

ETA:

Oor even that Russia invaded Ukraine unprovoked, that always gets them lmao

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

You could also check out !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works

But you'll need to look at it off the .ml instance because .ml blocks that comm specifically (talk about censorship lmao)

OMG. I just discovered Lemmy yesterday after being a Redditor for a decade. I deleted my Reddit account after the insane level of suppression I've endured over the past year and was all set to go cold turkey when I found out about Lemmy! Praise the sweet lil' six pound, eight ounce baby Jesus!!
