I still don't understand what a tankie is
Edit: From what I gathered, they're essentially authoritarian communists
The type of "communist" that supports authoritarian, usually state capitalist regimes like the USSR, China, and the DPRK.
The lack of meaningful worker enfranchisement in any of those regimes should tell you all you need to know, really - they're red-coded fascist lunatics.
Soo is it still okay to support good communism which doesn't spy on the people and is cool?
You mean utopia?
Yes exactly. Is it acceptable to believe in a world where everyone can be happy and not have to worry about having enough money to afford a living? Would be super sick, but also quite the extremisticly positive imagination of the world.
What bothers me is that you get called a Tankie for simply acknowledging that this just isn't gonna happen without some violence nowadays.
