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.
The rest of your comment soapboxes on that straw man so I’ll not respond to it.

Is there a reason you’re dancing around this instead of explaining what you meant by this? You’re just trolling.
I’m not trolling, I’m stubbornly refusing to hold your hand through English comprehension or logic because I don’t respect you.
But fine, I’ll try to comprehend it for you:
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 OR YOU COULD HAVE COMPREHENDED HAD YOU READ THE THREAD I LINKED).
Is that better? Or do I need a Russian or Korean translator?

Jesus Christ, try to keep your racism in check.

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.

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.
That’s not what I was asserting, no.

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.
