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.

    I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that topics like this made the rounds in several subs at the same time.

    Block the instance if you’ve got a problem.

      Somebody noticed a disturbing fact and wants to distribute the knowledge on multiple channels? I think I’ll allow this.

      Other than that, yes, let’s lift&shift the good communities away from lemmy.ml and block it.
