I wouldnt concider their political leaning being leftist, since hard soviet communism/maoism is tyranic and goes all the way around to being fascist since they are masters of banning shit with some being as r3t4rd3d as banning abstract art, so i would say they are right leaning. And concidering myself socialist i feel insulted by grouping tankies with me, so thats why i think the better term for them is tankies.
I'm sorry am I reading this right? Are you saying that communism is a right wing ideology?
In practice it is, or maybe those that claim commumism are actually liers and just tyrants, you cant really say the great leap foward in china was a leftist move right? Juat because they say comunism doesnt mean they are not autoritarian and autoritarianism isnt very leftist in my book.
