Honestly I’m more worried about those who claim to be communists but do things that both go against the tenets of communism and make other communists look bad. Tankies are a subset of that.
I think you’re yet another “left” anticommunist that hasn’t read a word of theory, yet thinks reading wikipedia makes them an authority on Marxism. Hope I’m wrong!
I was. I asked you to elaborate, then you deflected and asked what I thought you meant. I answered honestly, it wasn’t an accusation, it was what you literally asked for. Please respond in good faith.
You accused me, with no basis, of being anti-communist rather than answering what you think I mean.
I asked what you think I meant because I wanted to know whether you have a different view of this than I do or were simply uninformed. But between your accusations, your deflection, and your condescending responses to me, it’s becoming pretty clear to me that you’re not willing to discuss this in good faith. But maybe you can prove me wrong.

Communists, Marxists, Marxist-Leninists, etc. Anyone that actually defends AES and doesn’t repeat US State Department Propaganda about the Global South.
Yep, “left” anticommunists are a known phenomena propped up by the US state department.

Elaborate, what is this “tankie” and what do they do that “goes against the tenets of Communism.”
How about you start by explaining what you think I mean?
