This is the exact bullshit that keeps genociders and race supremecists in power. "If you don't pass my personal baseless litmus test, you're not a real leftist, and are in fact a literal Nazi."

The litmus test is the Tankie test. You are incorrect in your assumptions

What's a tankie but a leftist fascist? The quote was intentionally hyperbolic, but it wasn't inaccurate.

You are inaccurate when you say I was looking for Nazis. You are just all around wrong about the intention.

Are you a Tankie? Will you condemn the genocide of the Uyghurs by China?
