My understanding is that tankies believe that groups that have partially or completely followed far-left principles should be exempt from all criticism. I disagree. As long as it is honest criticism, it should not only be allowed but encouraged.

I've also heard that tankies are historic revisionists to an extreme. While I agree Western history is not telling us the real version of things, I don't think other countries are either. I won't say that an event happened one way or the other just because country A or country B says so. If historians and other experts are still debating an event and its details, I prefer to watch from a distance as I have no way to contribute to those debates.

So... no.

No.

Granted, I'm not on lemmy.ml either.

Maybe just yes or no isn't enough either. Maybe have someone post a picture of tanks in tienniemen square to prove they aren't a tanker.

No I'm not. Unfortunately one of the problems with tankies is they don't call themselves that most of the time. But I can confidently claim I'm not because when a fellow leftist disagrees with me on 5% of something, I gently explain why I believe what I do, and then proceed to not be mad if the petty difference continues.

NO. We have had enough already

NO

I'm pro-socialism and heavily regulated capitalism.

All that far left Marxist Communist crap is for people who like to pretend that it doesn't fail every single time.

Nope, I'm for social democracy and think a healthy government is a balance between left and right. This balance has been lost lately.

I do believe that the discourse need some more leftism, however not of the stalinist (or Marxist-Leninist as people call it) kind.

I am successful, so no.
