Saying good things about Cuba doesn’t make one a tankie. Cuba does good things. If ever there was justification for a violent revolution would it not be slavery? No ones gonna call people who think Haitis revolution against their slave owners was good tankies. Similarly, Vietnam is a left nation and saying good things about them doesn’t make you a tankie because they’re doing good things. All the above countries have their problems too, but I wouldn’t liken praise to them with genocide deniers.
Nah it’s just there’s people on here who believe anyone defending anybody that’s communist is a tankie. I’m pretty left leaning and anti capitalist but not to the point where I would support China or Russia or some stupid shit like that.

I’ll never understand how people can be anti-capitalist, but not anti-imperialist.
