    In what way am I a Tankie? What i meant was, that given the exclusive cases, the size of their economies and their special histories, i believe they are exceptions to your definition.

    I am not a Tankie, I am not a Marxist-Leninist. I can’t imagine what would possess someone into believing it is appropriate to reply “STFU <derogatory term I am not>” to a good-faith response to your comment on a thread about the truthfulness of Marx.

    I am a Marxist, and thought it would be fun to interrogate your views on this public forum. But I believe you are on some shit

    How could I reply to you in a way that is both up front about my own ideas but also discussing your ideas, so that I don’t have to be treated like some disgusting pest? Be real

      Tankies support the autocratic regimes like China and the USSR, the eastern block so to speak, and by claiming to be a Marxist while also claiming that China is communist in anything other than name you have aligned yourself with and defended their system of corruption. I could be convinced you’re just somehow mistaken but I highly doubt you’re here in “good faith”.
