    Everyone to the left of the Democratic Party is a tankie.

      Larping as a ‘socialist’, sing the internationale on the 1st of May while totally bootlicking US imperialism and (proxy) wars, supporting the genocide state and neoliberal policies/austerity measures at the expense of working class is OK.
      That is every EU socialist/labour party.

      Actually going against that is not acceptable, then you are indeed called a radical tankie.

      Now we’re at the point where they want to equate communism with fascism, with the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact as BS excuse.
      Blaming the soviets for causing WW2, etc. and more plain revisionism Shamelessly pushed by those shitty Balt states that still can’t cope that the Soviets beat their nazi grandfathers.

        Well said. Tankie is a term used by people who think The New Deal was peak socialism

        Sanders is a democrat, and thus represents the most left wing position that won’t (usually) get called tankie

            Ha the word look close for you ? Don’t agree but hey you do you.

            I am surprised when looking at you history that you link the US left to communist. When the US Left is the most Right of all the left parties in the world. And in Europe the US left would be the right… Trying to mush the US left more right are you ?

            Okey I completely understood in wrong… Sorry

            He’s the Dems sheepdog keeping the gullible voters from choosing actual left 3rd parties, invariably endorsing the corporate blue MAGA candidate every election.
            Also can’t have a speech about Gaza without saying ‘shitrael has the right to defend itself’ and NEVER dared to use the word genocide.
            He is a fake POS, there are no similarities
