    Yes? You do realize tankies are a minority group and that in many nations “leftist” is just a normal political position?

    I’m honestly not sure what you’re trying to say here

      I think they’re interpreting your response to the meme as “centrism bad” while the meme in question only offers Nazi, Tankie, or Centrist. These sort of mixups happen in these discussions where the implied context is just so massive.

      To me it looks like you’re trying to paint everyone who’s not a Nazi or a tankie as an ‘enlightened centrist’.

      The vast majority of communists globally are “tankies”. I know that Westerners don’t consider non-westerners to be “real” though

        Good thing the political spectrum left of center is far more nuanced than just being communism, then.

        Also, not going to get into a debate about whether certain people should be considered people or whatever you’re baiting, sounds like fascism to me.

          “thinking that non-westerners are people sounds like fascism to me. I’m a leftist by the way”
