    So, people who love North Korea, or defend russia invading Ukraine, people, who stand by even the most autoritarian, anti-democratic, militaristic, imperialistic regimes - just because they call themselves “socialist” or “communist” - are “Tankies”.

    Would be good to point out these people you are mentioning are not all the same.

    There are people that Are critical of Russia, but don’t buy from western propaganda and are being called tankies too.

    It is more like, if one dare to question the western narrative = tankie.

      i.e. are critical of russia, but stand by even the most autoritarian, anti-democratic, militaristic, imperialistic regimes - just because they call themselves “socialist” or “communist”, except for russias invasion of ukraine

        btw seens a paradox that you guys so “pro freedom” are asking for bans of people that you disagree.

          it may seem that way, but no. pro-freedom actually means keeping people away who wanna take our freedom. i.e. authoritarians like tankies

                I am not arguing they are perfect. It is just extreme to ban those folks altogether.

                Neither are we perfect.

                    oh right. Then we should treat them like cockroaches, right?

                    The Canadians came up with an idea you might agree, it is called “Final Solution”.
