Dunking on Tankies from a leftist perspective.

A tankie is someone who defends/supports authoritarian or even totalitarian regimes who call themselves "socialist". The term originated from people supporting the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union. Nowadays they are just terminally online, denying genocides, and falling for totalitarian propaganda and calling such regimes "true democracies". remember to censor usernames when necessary.

Found the fake leftist; a real leftist knows that logic is capitalist propaganda and thus uses dialectics instead

And perhaps even more to the point, capitalism relies heavily on marketing (a.k.a. propaganda), which is almost entirely based on illogical emotional argumentation.
