    I’m not even communist — rather a Georgist myself — but it’s so fun to portray THEM as the conservative reactionaries and paid shills. They literally don’t even know how to properly respond. The best part is everything I said is 100% true: tankies ARE in fact errand boys for the imperial elites. Or at the very least useful idiots.

      It’s so unreal for me, that they’d champion Russia and China of all places. I remember reading a comment from one tankie defending Xi removing his own term limit. “Clearly people like him, he has overwhelming poll numbers. Depriving them of the chance to continue to vote for him would be undemocratic”

        Oh man, the irony. Do they not remember that China doesn’t even pretend to have national popular elections? The people can’t vote for Xi even if they actually wanted to!
