Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

i plan to make this community in order to provide a space for leftists to congregate and discuss important political topics.

when i say “leftists” i mean real leftists, not tankies.

Tankie is too vague. Please define so that everyone knows what's allowed.

Is defending existing socialist/communist states being a tankie or does it require defending or erasing the horrors that those states have perpetuated required?

Edit: I'm neurodivergent and seriously need help with the term, not performing some sort of bullshit mind games crap.

This is a good definition of tankie "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."
