I wouldn't call you a tankie for using quotes of faux communist figures saying genuinely pro-communism things.
Their messaging is usually on point. Its their actions where they shift from communism to authoritarian state capitalism or outright fascism.
Lol I bet you think communism can only ever exist as a protest movement and the minute communists gain any kind of political power you immediately call them authoritarian/tankie/state capitalist/fascist. Take this idea to a meeting of any real world communist party and you'll be laughed at.
If I'm wrong, tell me what you consider to be genuine communism as opposed to "faux" communism.
What do you consider to be genuine communism?
