Lol no, Tankie are authoritarians who’ve latched onto regimes who merely claim to be communistic/socialist i.e. China and Russia. That’s the part people hate, not communism/socialism in general
Marxist-Leninism is NOT communism/socialism in general. that’s Stalin’s term for his own personal politics, or as the rest of us know it, Stalinism. the use of that word is an intentional trick to convince people who don’t know its origins or its specifics it’s something it isn’t
Yea that’s what I’m saying lol, ML is more of an authoritarian flavor OF communism/socialism, and the thing people hate the most. Marx’s part alone is decent, but then Lenin bastardized it and then later Stalin bastardized it even more
communism and socialism are by design anti-authoritarian, so anyone claiming to be such while sucking the dick of any authoritarian is by definition userping the term for prpopaganda purposes. Basically, you’re being lied to, and far too many people buy the slander.
ML stands for Marxist Leninism, so that’s a clue
