I actually agree with you on that. However, “being too prone to using Marxist definitions and terminology” does not warrant labelling them as a “tankie” or “Russian propagandist.”
That’s not what I was asserting, no.
Is there a reason you’re dancing around this instead of explaining what you meant by this? You’re just trolling.
Is that better? Or do I need a Russian or Korean translator?
Jesus Christ, try to keep your racism in check.
I’m stubbornly refusing to hold your hand through English comprehension or logic because I don’t respect you.
Well then, I guess this is the conversational path you wanted, where we yell at each other over easily resolved misunderstandings because you decided to be a dick. Entirely your choice, not mine.
THAT IS NOT THE REASON I LABELED THEM A TANKIE, BUT I DID IN FACT LABEL THEM A TANKIE (FOR OTHER REASONS I EXPLAINED ELSEWHERE
Yeah, hey, and what were those reasons you explained in the linked thread? Let’s check:
The problem we’re discussing is that tankies employ definitions gymnastics
Oh hey, what do you know? You’re labelling them a tankie because they’re too prone to using Marxist definitions!
Ah, more tankie logic; “Anti-Russian and Anti-North-Korean sentiment can only come from a place of racism.”

Oh you surely started the douchey behavior. I definitely joined you in the mud, though.

Not all Marxist definitions are mental gymnastics to defend imperialists, no. Until today I thought none of them were, but I haven’t read everything he wrote so you could be right about some of them.
Either way, you’re still wrong to assert that I beleive Marxist Definitions = Tankie. Marx wasn’t a tankie.
Ah, more tankie logic; “Anti-Russian and Anti-North-Korean sentiment can only come from a place of racism.”
No, suggesting that I need a translator is what’s racist.
Either way, you’re still wrong to assert that I beleive Marxist Definitions = Tankie. Marx wasn’t a tankie.
Funny, that’s not what I said. Unlike you, I’ll explain the distinction, though you probably won’t see it. I said that you accused this specific person of being a tankie based on their tendency to use Marxist definitions, not that you do the same to anyone who uses any Marxist terminology.
Uh huh.
You’re trying to deny labelling them a tankie now? That’s just a blatant lie.
Another straw man. Try again.
How on God’s green earth could that possibly be a strawman?
Hint:
Point out the comment where I said I didn’t label them a tankie.
