      Who the fuck taught you how politics works? liberals are left wing, tankies are radical left, fascists are radical right,

      A marxist or a leninist is a type of communist, whereas a tankie pretends to care about communism while really only caring about talking about how the west is always wrong, and always the worst thing about the world, and how Russia, China, and the Middle East are always fine and can never do anything wrong (especially in comparison to the west).

          Communism is a different economic theory.

          tankies are opposed to every single thing about the west. If Joe Biden said that pizza tasted good, tankies would stop eating it.

              I said weird communists. Communists who are less concerned with communism and more concerned with a stupid, simplistic, geographic theory of international politics.

                  international politics is complicated. No one perspective is right, especially not one as simplistic as “west bad Russia good China good”
