      No. The people who scream the loudest about “tankies” are centrists who don’t think their party is far enough to the right.

        They’re not centrist anymore because they purposefully side with fascists.

          Siding with fascists while pretending to do anything else is what centrism is all about.

            Why don’t you define “tankie” or authoritarianism before, then? Instead of just sharing a silly meme and acting as if that was an explanation.

            What even is communist authoritarianism? Lol

                Yeah, communist authoritarianism is not a thing.

                You’re thinking of literal fascist anti-communist propaganda and using a very basic knowledge of anything leftist/communist-related to fill-in the rest

                  Was Stalin authoritarian? If massive purges to consolidate power aren’t authoritarian, I don’t know what is.

                    Exactly what I was referring to… A bunch of the same old tired talking points that you’ve never actually bothered to look into.

                    "The US has basically lied since its founding, but they would NEVER lie to ME about Stalin or the USSR. And I know this because I saw a whole tiktok video once and a meme that said “commie bad”

              Why don’t you define it if you know it so well? I’m looking through this comment chain and the only thing you have been doing is deflecting or jumping to another topic, while asking bad faith questions.

              The other guy could at least be bothered to give his definition, it might be the wrong one, but I ain’t reading a counter definition.

      Not sure. This OP also went to comment on a 4 years old post in the “republican” community here in Lemmy.ml so it could indeed be a conservative too.

      Regardless, considering how many of these memes they’re posting now, they’ll likely be soon banned.

      It sucks that we have to deal with these kind of people that have nothing better to do

      Talkies like to act like they’re the left, but really they’re the bottom of the spectrum.

      Make up they’re own rules and hate everyone else, even if your just trying to help others, including them

      Their preferred way of government you’ve never heard of and how dare you not know it.

      You may think you have a good point, but you’re actually stupid and a facist.
