Tankies like Cuba no idea what you're on about

[–] PowerCrazy@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

Also "tankies" like cuba. So do leftists, and pretty much every one who doesn't simp for capitalism. I'm pretty sure that Mossy Feathers strawman actually likes Cuba too.

I almost never hear about tankies (at least not the hexbear/lemmygrad type) talking about Cuba. It's always Russia and China. I'm sure they exist, but why do they like idolizing Russia and China? It makes no sense.

Because Cuba is not often a major player in world events, like Russia and the PRC are currently. Cuba is involved in quite a few discussions in communist theory. I also don't really see what you mean regarding idolizing, they just have quite a different viewpoint.
