What counts as defending? Like, if I say I think it's cool that China has high speed rail, am I a tankie? That's why I am asking.

As for 196, I try to avoid discussing anything political there except for the most benign and uncontroversial takes possible, because that's what that community tends to want.

Where do you draw the line between authoritarian and Marxist? What good Marxist movements have existed that don't count as authoritarian to you? This all seems vibes-based.

You've gotta be being deliberately obtuse.

How about "advocacy of strict obedience to authority at the expense of personal freedom"?

Everyone does that to different degrees, where is the line? Is it a vibe check?

CCP/Stalin apologists, people who defend the CPP/Stalin.

How about "advocacy of strict obedience to authority at the expense of personal freedom"?

If you genuinely still don't understand what it means to defend authoritarianism, I can't help you. It doesn't get more specific than what I've already given you.

Otherwise, I'm not going to keep entertaining willful ignorance.
