What is a tankie?

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes or their allies. More specifically, the term has been applied to those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics, whether contemporary or historical.

    It might help your understanding that the definitions of words is highly political and also subject to change. It speaks volumes that you’re incapable of understanding this.

    E.g. According to libs capitalism is something very cool and good in contrast Marxists that use a different definition of the word and don’t see it that way. Similarly the definition of “dictatorship”. Here Marxists asks dictatorship for what class of people.

    Also your argument that the majority of people use a certain meaning and therefore it’s the only one is just cute. Not like there’s historical examples that show this type of thinking to be fallacious.

      ‘There’s your definition and then literally everyone else’s definition.’

      ‘Oh so there’s only one definition?!’

      Good day.

        ‘There’s your definition and then literally everyone else’s definition.’

        Implying that just because the majority uses it therefore it’s right

        ‘Oh so there’s only one definition?!’

        I said literally the opposite

        Good day

        Fuck off

        There are texts describing what “dictatorship of the proletariat” means. Dictatorship had a specific meaning at the time and people’s perception on what it means has changed. That does not mean the meaning of “dictatorship of the proletariat” has changed, which is, by the way, something you brought up to prove that communism == dictatorship. You’ve been arguing against yourself this whole thread.
