I have seen the word Tankies a ton since I joined Lemmy, but it seems like people use it for almost anybody that is political at all, lol. Is the definition of it that google gives accurate?

It gets thrown around a lot by people who don't know the first thing about Marxism.

I'm a card carrying socialist so you think, with the communities I subscribe to, I would have seen some Tankies commenting, but I've yet to run across any Uygur genocide or Russian apologizing so far.

It really makes me mad when people accuse the maintainers of Lemmy of being Tankies when all I can find are very based essays they've written about socialist philosophy.

Edit: Just to be clear, I won't tolerate any Russia/China apologism. My account being from Leemy.ml means I still see content from the people most likely to be Tankies. I'm always willing to admit I am wrong if someone makes a compelling argument. I've just been silent on this topic since people started complaining and this is my first real push back. I don't want the Tankie slur applied to anyone who doesn't deserve it.

Have you been to hexbear? It's very thick over there with that kind of shit

Since Lemmy.ml is still federated with Lemmygrad and Hexbear I see their posts and comments pretty regularly.

That's why I'm aggravated that I see people complaining about those groups but haven't seen the rhetoric their accused of. ๐Ÿ˜”

I genuinely want some links to examples. It would make me sad but I can accept if I'm wrong.
