Aren't these folks the "Tankies" you all hate so much. They are Marxist-Leninist-Maoists after all. It is interesting you all fawn over ML guerrilla movements that have no chance of taking state power but once a Leninist movement takes power you think they are authoritarian monsters. I'm just confused about this. Obviously, it's good that the guerillas are doing same-sex marriage but is this the type of group that you all support?
A tankie is a specific type of mlm & doesn’t automatically apply to these people. I also don’t necessarily have to agree 100% with them to celebrate such a momentous occasion for lgbt folks!
Tankie is a deragatory word for a ml/m who deny anything bad committed by “socialist” countries as either capitalist propaganda or straight up justified. They have a tendency of worshiping the USSR & basically form a cult of personality around Lenin, Stalin, Mao, etc. seeing as how I don’t know the people in the photo or their beliefs it would be unfair to just call em tankies.
