    You should also get some political education. Hating ‘tankies’ so much you confuse a liberal for a tankie has a lot of Republican ‘anyone to the left of hunting people for sport is a communist, every demoncrat is a communist’ energy.

      Oh I don’t doubt I should be more careful, being blind isn’t productive.

      That being said, I’m not going to be re-vealuating my opinion on tankies at this time. While I admit I jumped the gun and made a mistake, that doesn’t somehow open the door to supporting Xi and Putin.

        and Putin

        I think, you still need some political education. Russia is, in some ways, more capitalist that America is.

          The fact that you say this as if it’s a net positive is baffling.

          As I stated, I will not be re-evaluating my opinion on tankies at this time.

            Why are you extracting intention from that?

            I was correcting a factual error you were making.

            You need political education because you say factually wrong things and don’t know what you are talking about at all.

            I’m not trying to convince you of anything. I don’t care about the opinions of the proudly stupid. I’m just trying to pick up after you mess the fucking floor.
