I'm just as much a socialist as you, but all of my positions conveniently line up with the US State Department's and the only through line is violently enforcing white supremacy. Stand back while I use the word "tankie"

I'd honestly respect people more if they just admitted to being social democrats or liberals instead of trying to be this halfway house thing of socialism/communism with liberal democratic characteristics. Very common here on Lemmy. As far as I can tell, the tankies are the ones whose ideas line up most closely with real world communist organisations. I can't think of any serious communist parties that are anti-China, anti-USSR, pro-NATO, and so on.

"I'm a socialist, that's why I believe in milquetoast reformism for western capitalist nations but for radical regime change in socialist China"
