not all authoritarianism
Could argue that, and if you brought up Cuba I might lose, but it’s not the argument here.
Tankies, for historical reasons, with their Russia fetish, are reactionary. They fetishize a group of shitty reactionaries who killed all the communists (auth and otherwise). The origin of why we call them ‘tankies’ is a second wave of them being reactionaries who murdered all the communists.
It’s really clear at many levels.
They betrayed and stole the revolution, almost every other group involved would have done better.
In not shitting on them for being messy. I’m shitting on them for killing all the communists.
