Because they want to bully someone, and tankies are acceptable. It’s not any different from the tankies that kick people out of their book clubs for not worshipping a dictator from a country they’ve never even been in.
People only argue on the internet because they want to scream at someone - anyone.
I refuse to argue politics with people. It’s better to ask a tankie “will you help me with my project?” They’ll either say yes or reveal that they’re a bully too.
For idolizing the soviet union and the people’s republic of china, who have done some very evil things. Tankies always try to undermine the sins of authoritarian regimes. They keep trying to instate authoritarian regimes knowing full well that they have killed so many historically.
I’ve created no authoritarian regimes by giving food to homeless people. It was basically just unpaid charity work covered in red paint.
People’s ideas are fluid anyway. I made a lot of leftists into tankies by just being nice and tolerant. I’ve seen tankies become anarchists because they’re surrounded by them. I never succeeded at anything, and neither did they sadly. I wish they had. It was really nice helping eachother. I’ve never had so many friends. We should all become activists because it gives us so many friends.
It was really nice and I wish more people were like that online. In real life that’s how it is.
Maybe you’ve also absorbed your beliefs from people around you, maybe not. I’d recommend you read this essay by comrade ziq, give it a thought factcheck it if you want to. I find standing in support of the states or atleast the supposed ideologies of the states that have done terrible things (that at least don’t fit in my ideology of tolerance) to among others, queer people and other leftists, very distasteful and repulsive. It’s not that we say “fuck tankies” for giving food to homeless people, that’s not an uniquely tankie thing. It’s the tanks yall.
I’d rather just be nice to people. I’m not going to go around and find an excuse not to associate with people unless they’re dangerous or counter productive. Tankies like me are neither when it comes to any kind of activism. You could make a case for not letting their organizations help you if your values don’t align with them. However there is really no reason to exclude good faith participation of every single individual in that group.
I’d really just say that after a long time of thinking it over a harmonious existence is better than one where everyone around me is correct.
For what?

If you want truly based leftism, try anarchism.

You could start by not labeling yourself after a weapon of war who’s sole and only purpose is to kill humans.
That term wasn’t made up by us lol, we stole it from libs when they started calling us that.
So you do use that label. I didn’t say you made it up.
Mostly as a joke. No one seriously uses it as a descriptor. We call ourselves Marxists-Leninists.
