How the fuck is chomky a tankie. Based on this evidence he's clearly a lot of things, but calling him a tankie is ridiculous
tankie once more clearly just getting used as a pejorative for anyone an anti-communist social democrat dislikes
Don't take shitposts so seriously!
A tankie is a supporter of authoritarian state capitalism and the genocidal imperialist policies of such regime that follow such a model. Nothing more, nothing less. )
So Nordic model leftists are tankies. Ukraine supporters are tankies. Nelson Mandela was a tankie.
Edit: oh, turns out they are an outright Nazi
Yes. Absolutely. By definition. By any leftist definition, the Nordic states are undeniably authoritarian. They are literally capitalist! The fact that you are even asking this is absurd.
Yes, they think the dictatorship of capitalist class is a good idea. Again, this is undeniable by any leftist definition.
Given that nobody does this, apparently there's no such thing as a tankie. Or are you just trying to slip in a blatant strawman?
You listed three things, you illiterate dipshit.
You absolute fucking dumbass.
Imagine thinking "how can you possibly think capitalism is authoritarian! That's absurd! You clearly no nothing" was going to be a compelling argument to anti-capitalists.
Seriously, another prime example that "tankie" is just a pejorative for anyone left of Elizabeth Warren
