I don’t see tankies/red-browns are leftists. Ultimately they overwhelmingly support authoritarian dictatorships, and that just doesn’t feel very lefty for me
How often do you see these views in daily media? Cause I see right-wing rhetoric that’s pretty fucked up on TV and in newspaper and on the streets. but I only see tankies in the most forgotten corners of the internet.
Key word being “here.” They represent a small portion of a small internet community. How often do you hear tankie views presented seriously on mainstream news?
That’s what i am claiming here. France Insoumise is 3rd largest political force in France, they are pretty vocal in their “criticism of main establishment” which translates to “US/Israel bad, Russia and China good”
If social “media” falls under daily media, then I see it all the time. Go on X. Or Reddit. Or Instagram.
or TikTok. It’s not hard to find some pretty radical leftist opinions in popular spaces nowadays, and like most spaces centered around radical ideology, you’ll get some genocide deniers in the mix.
I never really got the whole “leftists voices not being heard” schtick. There are tons of leftist flavored crazies online, and they tend to be very vocal, just like the right wing crazies.
i hate to break it to you, but there are a lot of leftists that are very comfortable with genocide.

They called themselves “France insoumise” here, and they are numerous!
