    Communist is not the same as tankie. Lemmy probably wouldn’t exist if the devs weren’t communist

      I mean, they’re only not the same because “tankie” is so broadly defined that it also includes anarchists and non-western liberals.

          I have to ask, are shitlibs aware that Wikipedia isn’t divine gospel, and that there are other works in the history of humanity? Because it seems to inevitably be their one and only go to, which is particularly embarrassing given that even a middle school teacher could tell you that it’s not a good source. Even worse, it doesn’t’ even back up your claim!

              Wikipedia is a fairly neutral source.

              I mean, it’s basically your bible, your one and only source for everything. Of course you think it’s neutral. It’s not, by the way, but you think it is.

              Middle school teachers will tell you that tertiary sources are a good way to start your research when you apparently have no idea what you’re talking about.

              That makes sense then, as it’s obvious that neoliberals who only cite Wikipedia have no idea what they’re talking about.

              Oh wow, really digging deep for sources now.

              Though even these sources basically confirm that it’s a vaguely defended snarl word that can be leveled at anyone to the left of Bernie Sanders.

        No they don’t, reasonable criticism of the CPC is fine, they just ban jinogistic “China bad! Tinyman square! Winnie the pooh!” nonsense.
