      You freely accept the title of ‘tankie’?

      Like, you look at 1956 and 1968 and say “Yeah, that’s really swell, fuck those workers for being the wrong kind of workers”?

        I’m a Marxist Leninist. That’s what people mean when they say tankie. And there’s much more nuance to history than that, and I’m not interested in having a bad faith argument with some guy on the internet. Read the literature and decide for yourself. Or don’t and just remain ignorant as fuck about something you seem to be passionate about, I don’t fucking care dude.

            I don’t know. Something about being anti nato, possibly not understanding russias current government and how it differs from the Soviet Union.

            Proper Marxist Leninists should be against imperialist war no matter what, and supporting Putin just makes zero sense to me when you look at what he does to socialist and communist groups in Russia.

          We lost another ally!? They’re so positive they’re right, they never consider they might be wrong. I don’t think he was trolling. I think he’s read some history from liberal frame and never read it from the other side. Sad 😞
