Communist != Tankie.

Communism is explicitly an economic framework. "Tankie" defines authoritarians who believe in the Communist economic framework. That leaves a lot of room for all other sorts of Communists.

True, but only tankies remove/ban you if you're even mildly critical of China or Russia

Yes, we know. .ml are authoritarian boot suckers.

You know, that would be a worthwhile discussion to have; but that hinges on the mods not banning and removing the comments of anyone with a critical perspective. As of now, this is not possible on lemmy.ml.

Also doesn't seem possible on world

Tankie was coined by trotskyists to insult a slightly different kind of Leninist. Then anarchists picked it up and started calling trotskyists tankies. Now liberals call anarchists tankies. It's the circle of life, in a few years if you say tankie people will assume you're talking about Kamala Harris.

i thought tankie was universally accepted to just be a russia dick sucker but also commie. Why would this ever be applied to anarchists? That's so vastly different i couldn't see a world where that would even make sense.

This is true if you ignore what words mean

Too most on world tankie just means someone I don't like

In my experience you can't have one without the other. To be a communist you need to completely ignore the issues with it. Communism isn't successful without prohibiting the spread of information. Even then it breaks down after a few decades. It is more about hiding the state of things and crushing descent.

I'm far from a noted communist and I'm pretty sure none of those things are definitionally related to communism. Why would a diminishing of public property necessitate prohibiting the spread of information?
