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.

Chinese government fears radical communists because some of them might start thinking that modern China is not communist enough and cause trouble.

While Hu Jintao's liberalism created conditions resulting in more radical communists, I seriously doubt Xi Jinping's guys are afraid of Shengwulian-style ultraleftists coming back.
