Did he not know that Russia isn't communist?!

I don't think a tankie from Texas can be assumed to know anything

Tankies aren't communist. Neither are leninists. Their only ideological stance is to be anti west/America. Even if that means aiding fascists whom they have more in common with anyhow. Of which there's historical precedence.

They do pretend to be communist though.

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Absolutely. Like the economic liberals that larp as libertarians. What they call themselves and what they do are completely opposed.

Must be like the .ml "communist"s who love authoritarianism so much they'll pretend state capitalism is leftist.
