Well... i wouldn't say i am full authoritarian, but i definitely identify on the left. I have maybe false ideas of tankies, but i just want that the world change without going full revolution, so i would say NO.

The fuck is a tankie? Outside of Lemmy, I've never seen nor H6eard the word. I assume it's Lemmy slang for some group of people.

[–] GeneralVincent@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It's a word outside of lemmy. Just means an authoritarian communist

[–] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If Tankie means somewhat supporting what the URSS/China did, then YES.

I'm not communist, I've never read the manifesto but I'm more aligned with their ideals and the materialism philosophy than anything else, and I saw this quote that marked me. I paraphrase: "... the worst communist implementation was still better/on par than the best capitalist country".

Marxists and Anarchists share 90% of views, they just disagree on the presence of a government. The natural enemies of both Marxists and Anarchists are liberals and fascists.
