Liberals when talking about human rights: :) Liberals when talking about the enforcement of human rights: :(
- I'm a Liberal through and through and I'm all in favor of enforcing human rights.
  
  That's great, but liberalism as an ideology in the real world is pathetically weak on the right.
- Tankies ≠ leftists ≠ liberals
  Plenty of leftists want human rights and even know we'll need a revolution to get them, but the USSR and CCP were not ever communist, they were authoritarian oligarchies disguised as communism. The same way the US is not a democracy or a republic, it's an authoritarian oligarchy disguised as one.
  
  The USSR wasn't perfect (and Stalin ruined most things that were good obviously) but they weren't any worse than the USA or the west.

I have come to one nine five, I'm the spooky tankie that is in the room with you right now oooooooooooh! 👻👻👻 I'm the spectre of communism! 👻👻👻
Be sure to check your walls!
- sorry im a ghostbuster

- Not in this one they're all on the tankie instance

- lefty anti-capitalist spaces tend to attract them in general

Sir, are the talkies in the room with us right now?
