      I don’t know of anybody who could be accurately described as “tankie” who would be against anything he’s done. They might say it doesn’t go far enough, but I wouldn’t describe that as “butthurt”. Where are you encountering comments like that?

        Because when you are terminally online, nothing irl will ever be good enough.

      Tankies just want to talk about Socialism in a perfect vacuum. Why would they want to talk about someone actually doing things. That requires effort.

        I feel like it’s the complete opposite. The people that I see online who end up being labelled as “tankies” are usually the ones asking the hard questions about how to actually achieve socialism in the real world, while liberals and social democrats are the ones dreaming in a vacuum, basically arguing that we’ll just have to ask the billionaires and imperialists nicely to give up their money and power, etc., ad infinitum.

      They are? I feel like you’re butthurt about tankies advocating for marxism that any success the ideology has needs to be stripped away from it and announced as against it?

      I’ve never seen a single tankie hating on mumdani if anything they just keep hating on everyone who’s hating on mumdani, because mumdani actually pushes socialist policies

      I’m getting very confused what i’m supposed to be arguing against here, is your point that tankies aren’t socialist?

      …?
