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.

How does one go about justifying the actions of a few shitty people who are only out for personal gain?

I am very much a friend of the common, suffering, people. I am a friend of the north Koreans.

Buy anyone who can justify any type of malice towards others, like locking down an entire country like a big prison, all to maintain power and influence, has got to be a little off imo.
