Dunking on Tankies from a leftist perspective.
A tankie is someone who defends/supports authoritarian or even totalitarian regimes who call themselves "socialist". The term originated from people supporting the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union. Nowadays they are just terminally online, denying genocides, and falling for totalitarian propaganda and calling such regimes "true democracies". remember to censor usernames when necessary.

Lemmy is already like, 80% anti-capitalist.
I would say they're preaching to the choir here, but this is far more obnoxious than preaching.
The Bolshevists wanted to kill the Mensheviks, though they were both against the capitalists. It ain't all peace and kindness on the Left
Left Unity until I say the revolution ends.
Ive seen dozens of hexbear and lemmygrad users post unironically that lefties that dont support Lenin and killing any and all capitalists also deserve to be murdered.
