    I won’t normally try to correct people on it, but fascists and tankies aren’t quite the same. The latter are vile authoritarians, but fascism is a more specific thing, even if it’s still kind of fuzzy and hard to nail down.

    Though if you just meant it as a joke, carry on. o7

      Tankies are vile human beings with an ultimately good goal (even if no real way of achieving it with their methods).

      Fascists are vile human beings with vile goals.

        I wouldn’t say the goal is good. Some aspects of it, yes, even if I don’t agree with it. But they openly call for violence against those they disagree with. I wouldn’t call that good.

          I mean, I would call that the method. Generally, they theoretically are still calling for an end-goal of stateless communism.

            A goal that will never be reached because it is a utopian dream. Human flaws will stop it occurring everytime, and that’s where the big problems are. They can only achieve it through violence, and every time it’s been tried that violence ends up being used to shore up the power of the few at the top.

        We’re still better off with none of them, however
