I joined Lemmy a while ago and I suddenly got exposed to many "tankie" debates going on. Is there a reason this group suddenly became relevant on Lemmy (I mean, from the view of a Reddit migrant)?
I use "tankie" to refer to the type of people that claim to be Marxist but are actually just anti-West, like the ones that support Russia's love of genocide simply because Russia is opposing the western world. I'd love to have conversations with actual Marxists, I've just become increasingly less sure that they exist.
Ngl you're going to probably isolate yourself from Marxists by using the label "tankie" since they typically see it as a label used by liberals to put down revolutionary leftists. I can't speak for all Marxists/ml's but that's what I've noticed
