That's tankies. Not all communists are tankies. Tankies are just incredibly loud. And love to brigade.
I think the problem is that the meme chooses to use the term "communist" rather than "tankie." No principled communist would defend a plutocratic petrol state like current day Russia, unless they simply opposed the west more than they supported Marxism. It seems like this meme is targeted at centrist Americans and right wing liberals who think poorly of communism because they were alive during the Cold War, and think antifa hurts their cause more than they help. The peacenik one is pretty spot on, but the first two kind of suck.
No arguments there, the first two def could've done with better labels. I'm just shitposting from my 'best of' folders while the Fediverse finds its feet, not a content creator, so I do apologize for the problems caused by the share.
I'm a communist and I don't, so there's one.
