for personal reasons & my studies at university, i’ve grown to despise authoritarian Communism (“C” capitalized) yet respect my communist comrades who’ve been at the front lines of the historical resistance against fascism. that said, this is a very good & thorough read for those who don’t know yet blurt out the word “tankie” as a slur. as many know, i come from the Soviet bloc & my maternal grandfather spent 10yrs in Siberia courtesy of Stalin. & yet i’ve been on so many ridiculous tankie lists made by eejits.
“Tankism often goes hand-in-hand with a particularly gruesome form of Assadism. These are the chemical weapon deniers (or even celebrators), the militarists, so-called ‘kebab removers’ recapitulating the same excuses of ‘Western propaganda’ and endlessly bootlicking Russian geopolitical interests through any possible man or medium.”
