Authoritarian-Communist.

Named after the mostly Marxist-Leninist leftists who supported the Soviets brutality in Hungarian Revolution of 1956, when they sent into tanks to kill the student democratic uprising.

Used by non-auth leftists for decades, past few years some centrists and rightists have started using it for anything left that they don't like as calling everyone communists wasn't working any more. These days it generally means anyone who supports China, Russia, blames Ukraine, etc.

Yeah I'm not searching that term either

Idk, the post calls him infiltrator but there is -54 likes. It just looks like general .ml likes Mamdani.

Also if they are removing the posts and comments against him, doesn't that mean he is liked over there?

Which is sort of wild.

Marx was very clear that communism could not be delivered by heroes on horseback. But then again, Tankies don't like Marx, they like Lenin, the man who lost an election to actual communists and then had them all killed. He seized power via coup, and then made himself a king, and wrote how kings (vanguard parties) were somehow vital to communism, and how democracy was not.

Tankies are chicken-hawks.

They gladly let millions of marginalized peoples suffer and die for a pipedream that those people will fight a communist revolution... on the tankies' behalf.

Tankies won't ever be the ones on the front line. They spam fuck comment sections and try to convince as many people as possible to act against their own self interests, to put them in a desperate enough state that the tankoes can more easily manipulate them.

Tankies aren't communists, they're red fascists. Same abuser mentality as the fascists they so gleefully surrendered to in November 2024.

If you omit the word Russian, I think you just described the entirity of the current reddit user base.

Excuse me, we're Chinese trolls, thanks very much; we are unhealthily obsessed with China because it's incredibly economically successful, it's the last hope of actual oldschool dictatorship of the worker socialism, and it's barely avoided being controlled by the market.

It's incredibly centralised, it's authoritarian, yes, but it's also building all the solar panels and executing billionaires when they get too powerful and making the imperial nations look like chumps, so you should forgive us for our infatuation.

My lack of action and lack of building local organisation? Guilty. I'm trying to correct this. China is not the model for the West, and even the Chinese govt says that, so as a true Chinahead I do not call for Chad Xi to come save us, that is missing the fucking point. We must grow our own socialist organisations to bypass the state, and anarchists and syndicalists might be the best idea for the West, with our individualism and love of freedom.

They can't vote. They're either not American or they're bots.

Assuming they vote at all and don't think the best way to show your dissatisfaction is to stay home and complain on the Internet
