For some reason they are more pro Russian suppression state

They really aren't. I keep seeing .worlders assert this but I've never seen it there. China and DPRK yes, but not Russia. (I also do consider China to be at least as democratic as western countries, not so much Korea, but I don't mind hearing opposing views.)

Is it the way tankies talk that make it sound not democratic to you? Or it the biases you went in with?

How unsurprising that someone going around calling people tankies doesn't actually know anything

Life expectancy doubled under Mao.

"tankies" (aka Marxist-leninists) fully believe in Democracy - they just reject the idea that neoliberal two party American democracy is the be all and end all.

Remember that they don't consider liberals to be leftists

You can tell someone is terminally reddit brained when they're still accusing people from federated instances of "brigading".

The claim that they're pro-Putin relies on no one actually going there to check, because they very much aren't.

Also yeah, denying people's identity just because you disagree with their politics is pretty transphobia

I've never seen anybody on hexbear say Putin is a good guy. And it seems pretty transphobic to say that they're just pretending to be trans.

That just makes it even fucking worse that the Democrats continued to send tens of billions of dollars to Israel, deploy the US military to assist them, and block every diplomatic attempt to stop them.

Can you imagine is Carter kept repeatedly swearing his allegiance to Iran during the hostage crisis?
