Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Rules:

No bigotry of any kind.
No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
No genocide denial

We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.

Curious about non-tankie leftism? If you've got a little patience for 19th century academic style, let a little Marx and Kropotkin be your primer!

Marx's Communist Manifesto, short and accessible! Highly recommended if you haven't read it

I mean the word works, fits and is descriptive. Do you have another word for people who fit the criteria?

Maybe privileged-ignorant-authoritarian-self-proclaimed-leftist might fit if it wasn’t so long.

Maybe going with German might work. Privilegiertunwissendautoritärselbsternannterlinker?

Authoritarian Apologist. The most neutral, and accurate

Authoritarian supporters. Most don't just excuse the authoritarian regimes, they actively support them.

I’m thinking apologist is a good word here. It fits the religious overtones of how they behave.
