Being anti-tankie does not make you anti-communist.

what the fuck do words even mean anymore, read marx jesus christ

I used to think that Marx was overrated because I never needed to read him but holy shit it's clear that 95% of the populace cannot form coherent ideologies without being taught them

Tankie usually refers to Marxism-Leninism (as well the ideologies that derived from it such as Maoism). But there are communist ideologies that don't derive from ML such as Orthodox Marxism, trotskyism, libertarian Marxism, bulshevism, etc.

no it usually refers to whatever the fuck the person posting it seems to think it is, there is not a coherent label for it.

Orthodox Marxism, trotskyism, libertarian Marxism, bulshevism, etc.

Oh cool, which societies use those?

How would Trotskyism be any less "authoritarian" Than marxism leninism ? Also almost every claims on some level to be "orthodox marxist", lenin most of all and MLs as well
