I don’t normally consider people that use anti-communist pejoratives like “tankie” to be genuine in their leftism. Especially those that try to pretend works of fiction are genuine evidence against socialism.
When someone claims to be a leftist but starts attacking socialism with literal works of fiction, and calls those that point that out anti-communist pejoratives like “tankie,” I doubt their sincerity. The meme is true in this instance, in the sense that I as a communist don’t really see what’s “left” about anti-communism.
Sure, by giving a work of fiction as evidence, and calling us “tankies” for providing evidence of that fact along with actual historical texts like Russian Justice. When you wilfully replicate Red Scare propaganda even in the face of evidence to the contrary, you are doing the work of anti-communists, hence why any personal feelings you may have towards leftism are secondary to your willful participation in demonizing socialism.
Some of us are as well and there are differences of opinion on that matter. 😄
We’re leftists, that’s exactly our thing.
Somehow I doubt that one.

Lol, you’re confirming the meme.

I started by saying that not all victims of communism were Nazis.
Nobody ever said that they‘re all Nazis, not even the meme.
Also, you started by citing fiction to make a point using whataboutism.
You are not a sincere person.
