The key requirment is authoritarianism, especially now. Being left has little to do with it anymore. When you defend modern Russia, you aren't left. It's a fantasy about former communist authoritarian countries with little to no regard for modern reality.
I'm aware, but authoritarianism isn't useful either. The US, Britain, Russia, Mozambique, and the USSR are all authoritarian states.
nah, USA good. tankie bad
Just in case you're serious:
goddamn tankie
lmao that's cute. Call names instead of engaging with the content, because you know it's correct.
I'm an anarcho-syndicalist. I've been called a tankie for milquetoast leftist opinions. It's far more common than you think for liberals to brand anything left of capitalism "tankie".
