What is a tankie?

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes or their allies. More specifically, the term has been applied to those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics, whether contemporary or historical.

    1. how will you prove they’re not „real people“?
    2. you‘re using a platform made by them
    3. the post itself is also propaganda since it pushes for a „solution“ against „tankies“.

      1. Hold my hand and we’ll go visit their house and ask them

      2. Creating something doesn’t give them the right to spread lies, and they probably funded it specifically in order to spread propaganda

      3. This post isn’t a systemic campaign of disinformation… a single person saying we should do something isn’t propaganda. I’m talking about government-driven efforts to change thought and opinions. In this case, from a government with a long history of murdering and oppressing people.
