What is a tankie?
Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes or their allies. More specifically, the term has been applied to those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics, whether contemporary or historical.
And a good thing it is, too - if you liberals were managing it lemmy would have been sold off to Meta or Google a long time ago.
Liberty means freedom, not only from government,s,but from authority in general. Corporations, religious organizations, criminal organizations, political organizations and other people.
And has liberalism delivered any of this?
People are streaming into relatively liberal countries by the millions because of opportunities and freedom.
Really? It has nothing to do with the hundreds of years of colonialist looting and pillaging liberals presided over that is still ongoing today?
Really? This has nothing to do with with the targeted maldevelopment of the 3rd world presided over by liberals that is, again, ongoing to this very day?
Way to go outing yourself like that, white supremacist.
Liberals didn’t preside over colonialism, that’s ridiculous.
Who did you think presided over colonialism, genius? Martians?
By the time of the Great Irish Famine (one of the British Empire’s earliest achievements) the transformation of England from a feudal society to a liberal one was complete.
The US was literally founded as the model for the liberal nation state - it’s entire history of genocide, slavery and yes, colonialism was drenched in the tenets of liberalism from the moment the constitution was signed right to this very day.
Go redo your history - and, this time, don’t get it from PragerU.
I think they mean economic liberalism, not political liberalism, which is what you explain.
Heh, I think you have a point. Funny this gets downvoted though.
