Tankies are literal authoritarians. People say they're "authoritarian communists," which ignores they're mostly Maoists or Stalinists, both of whom were closer to fascism than the left. It sort of ignores the basic premise of communism or even socialism to have a single authoritarian ruler. Kind of like how the Nazis called themselves socialists. I guess they were a workers' party to start, but I don't think you can reasonably conflate their ideology with the tenets of socialism.
No, you don't understand. The problem is that those people haven't had enough time to bring upon real communism. Real communism hasn't been reached yet. They want to let the Maos and Stalins of the world have enough time to reach communism. Things will surely be different with the next guy.
Trump is just Stalin and mai with less power.
There is no difference between authoritarianism at either end of the spectrum.
The issue with authoritarianism isn't "communism or fascism" it's a symptom of shitty PEOPLE NOT TYPE OF GOVERNMENT.
STalin wasn't a shithead BECAUSE he was commumist, but in spite of it.
The Nazis only used the label socialists to deceive the working class. They said so plenty of times when meeting with the industrialists whose bidding they were doing. They never were a workers party and they knew that it was only in name to be more palatable. This deception now has been replaced with "owning the libs" and whatever the local version of neoliberal, conservative or fascist ideology you have around the world.
What’s Stalinism 🤔
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalinism
I was being pedantic. There is no such thing as Stalinism, that article is a joke. Stalin was just a Marxist Leninist.
That's certainly a take
