YES

If wanting to receive basic human rights (food, housing, etc.), attend education without being discriminated against for my income and mental condition, control my workplace, earn the full value of my wages, have a government actually controlled by the people, all while being politically educated in past socialist movements and their theory to achieve all these things, then I'm sure as hell am a tankie, and I don't care what online liberals say.

Stalin rules, by the way. ✊

I'm pro-socialism and heavily regulated capitalism.

All that far left Marxist Communist crap is for people who like to pretend that it doesn't fail every single time.

Nope, I'm for social democracy and think a healthy government is a balance between left and right. This balance has been lost lately.

I do believe that the discourse need some more leftism, however not of the stalinist (or Marxist-Leninist as people call it) kind.

Not one of my pronouns. Never been in a tank. I don't even own a tank top. It sounds like a sophomoric pejorative neologism. Why would I adopt such a label? No.
