Dunking on Tankies from a leftist perspective.

A tankie is someone who defends/supports authoritarian or even totalitarian regimes who call themselves "socialist". The term originated from people supporting the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union. Nowadays they are just terminally online, denying genocides, and falling for totalitarian propaganda and calling such regimes "true democracies". remember to censor usernames when necessary.

By not murdering people en masse to achieve change, but through slow organic growth of support to secure a mandate. It's happening, but too slowly for tankies. They want to skip all that by mass murdering elected officials and government emoyees and their families, taking power without any kind of public support outside their own faction, then having to continue the mass murdering of dissidents to hold that power.

Can you imagine Cuba being able to resist US imperialism without a state?
