I hate to ask, but can someone help me understand what .ml is doing differently? And what's a tankie? Genuinely asking
Here's a recap post
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie
Thanks! (Tanks?)
Edit: I was wrong below and am corrected in replies to this comment.
~~The moniker Tankie is a reference to the Tiananmen Square Massacre because of their minimalizing or outright denials regarding the incident.~~
It predates that, actually. Goes back to the USSR sending tanks into Eastern Europe to put down rebellion.
Yep, the Prague spring.
Funny you guys are still mad about what the USSR did 50 years ago but when the us dems send tanks to gaza, it's OK because the other guy is worst.
WHATABOUT.
Like everything from the soviet union, whstaboutism is shit but tankies love it.
The sheer amount of military equipment produced was pretty impressive, which makes it even more impressive that PUTIN PISSED IT ALL AWAY.
Yeah, dictators are so smart lol ๐
Funny how you guys like to pretend that you are for denazification but hate it when people point out that Stalin was Hitler's greatest collaborator until the meth head betrayed him. Or that the USSR engaged in naked imperialism (and have to redefine imperialism to specifically omit countries that claim to be communist from the classification for reasons). Or when it's pointed out that violent, aggressive expansionism isn't exactly pro-prolitariat - it wasn't in 2020, or 2014, or 1939. Nor was it particularly pro-prolitariat when they murdered their anarchist allies once the White Army was defeated so as to prevent self-rule and centralize imperial power in Moscow.
No, it was coined for those who supported the soviet invasions of Hungary and czechoslovakia in 1956 and 1968.
They don't align with the west on geopolitics and it makes jingoists mad. Meanwhile they spent the last two years saying Palestinians deserved it
