NO

I've never even been called one erroneously.

This is a dumb question. That's like asking TERFs if they self-identify as bigots. They're going to respond that no, of course they aren't, they're just gender realists (or gender critical, or whatever).

No, don't know what it is either

The .world libs just couldn't help themselves but ruin our circlejerk.

Sure fuck it. I'll Tankie. Castro is a hero. Western news knows nothing of glorious DPRK Juche, and comrade Stalin did nothing wrong.

Yes.

No. I had no idea about this instance's reputation when I joined Lemmy but it's nothing like the other instance you mentioned.

It gets very tiring trying to have a conversation with contrarians who think everything Western is bad and anything Chinese/USSR is good. Or worse, that their highly suspicious news sources (some random blog usually) are telling you the real truth, while using any mainstream news media source makes you a deluded Lib

Tankies get spankies.

Yes.

I don't care to hide my aims; I don't move sheisty like some of y'all favorite Democrats do. Til all are fed and all have beds; my skin is Black, my star is Red.

NO. Communism is interesting, but I'm heavily anti-authoritarian.

Tankie originally referred to authoritarian communists, but over the past couple of years I've seen it referred to, like, anyone significantly to the left of the Democratic Party. Former suck, very much aspire to be part of the latter.

NO, I’m also not from this instance for similar reasons

[-] A_Chilean_Cyborg@feddit.cl 3 points 5 months ago

No

Oppression is oppression independent of the ideological basis, people who support oppressive governments based on a loose ideological basis deserve the worse.
