“Look, tankie either refers to people who were pro-Soviet/Stalinist in the most strict sense of the term or people who are "pro-non western countries like Russia and China" in the more current, less strict sense of the term.
Using one interpretation, Tankies support right wing oligarchs who assassinate political opponents, invade their neighbors in wars of aggression, (in China's case) are currently engaged in genocide, and put gay people in prison.
Using the other interpretation, Tankies support a totalitarian regime that killed millions of it's own people, invaded their neighbors in wars of aggression, helped the Nazis conquer Poland, put political opponents into gulags, and also put gay people in prison.
If you dont like these classifications, then don't be a tankie(either one).
It is possible to dislike capitalism, American foreign policy, and colonialism while also not being a fan of the Soviet Union or Vladimir Putin. I do it every day.“
