to me thats like saying the confederate flag doesnt mean anything, or even someone that is way too far right calling themselves a nazi.
it does mean something and there is historically a negative connotation with tankies, rightfully so in my opinion. it exudes some very poor ideologies the way i see it.
you can say it has lost meaning due to many opposed to communism calling anyone that criticises capitalism tankies, but identifying yourself as such is wild.
I already said I'm a communist, and no, that isn't "wild" to say. Socialism has consistently been successful in uplifting the working class, I want to continue and spread that. Liberals and fascists do have a negative connotation surrounding socialism, yes, but that's because socialism has successfully moved beyond capitalism and oppressed capital owners.
It's not at all like Nazis or confederates, because fascism and slavery are far-right, while socialism is far-left, and fascism and slavery have been tools to crush the working class while socialism has uplifted the working class.
i didnt say being a communist was bad, try rereading that or thinking for a minute. you used connotation very incorrectly i think, or at the very least not even close to what i was referencing to.
you should learn to read, and then research logical fallacies and what the terms mean that you call yourself or others.
You could have just taken the nice FOSS software and moved on, you know?
