(Also, I should probably clarify: Not every communist/socialist is a tankie. Not even every fan of the USSR/China/etc is a tankie, as long as they can admit that those countries do have faults and flaws. I consider ‘tankie’ to be a very specific category of people.)
Yes, I do consider them at least partially a supporter of liberalism, wouldn’t you? That’s what liberal has represented since its inception.
Virtually all communists I know are vocal about the problems in those countries when surrounded by people that are educated about them. However, that’s rarely what you see on here, which is where critical support is important.

To me, “liberal” means someone who supports individual rights, representative democracy, and capitalism.
I might enjoy individual rights, but I’m kind of meh on representative democracy, and very much against capitalism.

Hm… Critical of them in secret, eh? I’d love to see some of those secret conversations, then.
