    I explained 1. Why painting the Communists and fascists in a similar light serves fascists wishing to trivialize genocide and 2. Why “tankie” doesn’t mean anything except to serve as a pejorative for Marxist.

    The “goalposts” never shifted.

      Honestly the only difference between the quibbling you do with language and those blue maga weirdos on world is that you rep a different politics.

        Rather than trying to insult me, can you meaningfully explain why you disagree with me? Their comment suggested that Communists are in any way comparible in evil to the fascists that invented industrial mass murder, to the point that they wouldn’t side with them against the fascists. I then went on to explain how I feel that the word “tankie” is just a pejorative used to dismiss Marxists, rather than getting a genuine response I just got further description of the caricature of a tankie.
