      Your geographic location doesn’t dictate your beliefs, opinions, etc. At all. I have a friend that grew up in America, he’s Muslim, he’s got family in Jordan IIRC. But I was like, you’re pro-America. Right? No, turns out he much prefers Jordan & wants to move someday.

      Maybe you espouse tankie beliefs. Or maybe not, idk your life.

        Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to communists who express support for one-party communist regimes that are associated with Marxism–Leninism, whether contemporary or historical. It is commonly used by anti-authoritarian leftists, including anarchists, libertarian socialists, left communists, democratic socialists, and reformists to criticise Leninism, although the term has seen increasing use by liberals and right‐wing factions as well

        So, not me. but still random lemmy users will screech tankie at me.
