How do you differentiate yourself from them as a socialist? What is your theory of power and how it relates to authority, revolutions, and the working class that causes you to make this separation between supporting non-western communist countries and not?

I never said that I don't support communist countries. What I do not support are abuses of power by authoritarian leaders, even if they claim to be abusing their power in order to bring about a communist state.

Tankies accept most/all atrocities committed by so-called communist leaders with a "the ends justify the means" attitude that I do not share.

To be fair killing nazis is pretty cool. We made some movies about it.

It is neat you are a fan of doing things where the ends do not justify the means. How do bathing moral decay like that feel?
