If you support authoritarian communism, you are a tankie.

Do you know where the term comes from?

We aren't uncritical of the USSR, China, and the DPRK, we just think they broadly did (and do) much more good than bad.

Also, "CCP" isn't a country or even a party (CPC), it's China or the PRC. I assume when you say "Russia" you mean the Soviet Union that hasn't existed in thirty years as Russia is a capitalist country now.

Do you people have internet?

I speak of russia generally so I can include USSR and the current state of affairs. I realize they are different but they are both authoritarian.

They be capitalist but they call themselves communists.

saying it like you do, the imperialist media/state department way, puts emphasis on the "Chinese" part, which we object to for reasons that should be obvious

you people
