I can’t speak for others, but I have a threshold for it. Communists are fine. Anarcho-communists are fine. Privileged idiots living in a western country and holding the stance that “anything west is bad and therefore anything against the west is good” and praising dictatorship governments while calling themselves communist are not.
Yup. You can criticise the west, colonialism, and capitalism as much as you want. I’ll agree with you more often than not if you do. But the second you start praising the imperial actions of Russia or China, or making absolutely laughable comments about China being the real exemplar of a democratic nation, or pretending the degree of censorship and authoritarianism in western countries is even remotely comparable to those of places like China and North Korea, you’re a tankie and even the things I’d otherwise agree with you about become suspect.
It is amazing how brainwashed you people are that you agree with China nearly in totality, except you think you don’t because you were raised in China bad and believe propaganda about them.
Shit lib supports genocide, what’s new? .world tends to attract neoliberal bootlickers and reactionaries who call anyone left of them a “tankie”.
