Tankies do often make good points about western imperialism, the problem (and what makes them tankies) is there blind support for anyone and anything that opposes western imperialism, no matter how bad they are, which is usually support for russian/Chinese imperialism/authoritarian regimes.
This is incorrect, though. Marxists do not have blind support for China, Russia, etc, we disagree with the mainstream western appraisals of these countries. Further, support for Russia is strategic, support for China is because they are an actual socialist country.
If you say we make good points on western imperialism, then you should know that we take a scientific approach to analyzing imperialism, and that this is why our analysis is sound. We don’t have a vibes-based approach to imperialism, which is why we don’t agree to your accusations of, say, Chinese imperialism.
I think it would be a great idea for you to actually give what we say a listen, rather than selectively agreeing with us on what you already believe.

I was just going to say, I’ve been on Lemmy for like 6 months and I’ve literally never seen a .ml user blindly support China or Russia.
On the other hand, I’ve seen tons of non-.ml users blindly hate those countries.
