I’m sure this is a super common question but why do people (generally liberals or sometimes people on the left) call basically everyone who mildly agree with current more authoritarian leaning socialist states tankies
I wouldn’t nessicarily call myself a tankie but I can also fully understand why people feel that label fits them when so many people call so many perspectives tankie perspectives and just shove them in a corner
Not sure if that makes sense as a question but I hope it does
We wear the name with pride as we understand socialism is a science, not the empty idealism of racist Westerners who are more than happy to echo the imperialist talking points and look down their nose on the systems of socialist governance of the Global South that attempt to withstand the ongoing brutal siege by the West.
