    Anecdotally I have seen Marxist-Leninists calmly arguing in politics communities banned for being “tankies.” I will admit, I do not have any examples on-hand.

        We know that, it’s the implication that that somehow justifies Russia invading Ukraine is what makes you a tankie.

          That was never brought up in the post or the comments. The post was removed for “misinformation,” when it is completely factual. The commenters first countered that it wasn’t true. He wasn’t actually a Nazi. He wasn’t a chairman. When that failed, they focused on the pedantry of “a” chairman versus “the” chairman. And I guess it was reported and removed.

          Just pointing out that the same exclusionary tribalism happens on .world as it happens on .ml and Lemmygrad.

            And your vague-posting about it gives a fair and balanced account, I’m sure, but if you want to make your case, link the thread, if you think it will vindicate you.
