are they even in this 196
- lefty anti-capitalist spaces tend to attract them in general
- Looking at a few of the comments, yes.
- Not in this one they're all on the tankie instance
  
  well it sounds like the tankie instance needs blocked then. What instance is that btw?
Liberals when talking about human rights: :) Liberals when talking about the enforcement of human rights: :(
- Tankies ≠ leftists ≠ liberals
  
  Plenty of leftists want human rights and even know we'll need a revolution to get them, but the USSR and CCP were not ever communist, they were authoritarian oligarchies disguised as communism. The same way the US is not a democracy or a republic, it's an authoritarian oligarchy disguised as one.
  
  Reminder that "leftist" is a counter-constructive non-term.
  
  "BUHT REAL COMMUNISM HAS NEVER BEEN TRIED"
  
  The USSR wasn't perfect (and Stalin ruined most things that were good obviously) but they weren't any worse than the USA or the west.
- Tankies ≠ Liberals, though
  
  Yes that was my point, easy to criticise tankies but at least they want to do things.
- I'm a Liberal through and through and I'm all in favor of enforcing human rights.
  
  That's great, but liberalism as an ideology in the real world is pathetically weak on the right.
I have come to one nine five, I'm the spooky tankie that is in the room with you right now oooooooooooh! 👻👻👻 I'm the spectre of communism! 👻👻👻

Be sure to check your walls!
- sorry im a ghostbuster
  
  Wait a fucking moment, this post is 23d old. Lmao, sorting by hot moment.
196 doesn't really seem to be very tankie filled
Sir, are the talkies in the room with us right now?
