Idk, have we got their official position on the Hungarian Revolt of 1956? Have they denounced Che Guevera and the Cuban Revolution in all its forms? Do they agree that China isn’t a real country, it’s territory should be liberated from the oppressive CCP, and the government should be broken up into a constellation of micro-states?
I know skinheads were originally a workers movement. But here in the states skinheads were white supremacists by the time they got imported. I’m from Dallas, Texas where skinheads were always Nazis and a big problem.
But there are lots of folks here who aren’t American? The vast majority of skinheads I’ve met irl here in Australia have been anti-fascist as heck. It’s just not as clear-cut as tankies.
“Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice was founded in 1987 by Marcus, a skinhead from New York City. It emerged as a response by suburban adolescents to the bigotry of the growing White Power Movement in 1982. Traditional skinheads (Trads) formed as a way to show that the skinhead subculture was not based on racism and political extremism.”

Keep licking that boot. My mother’s side of the family was attacked and killed by a horde of Nazis and leninists. That’s right they were working together. Because after all why wouldn’t authoritarians work together when their interests align. And my father’s side of the family had genocide committed against it by the us government. All authoritarian governments whether they are Western or Eastern are bad. And the fact that this is your best answer pathetic. But completely expected and on brand. Never change.
okay but tankies aren’t white supremacists and that guy is wearing a screwdriver shirt
It’s an edit
Well, skinheads aren’t welcome here either I’m hoping. But I had the same reaction as you.
That one person with the Skin Heads Against Racial Prejudice pfp seems alright

Up with workers, fuck off to Nazis.

Skinheads originally weren’t Nazis.
And most Nazis today aren’t skinheads.
Other than the hand tool or the beverage what doss screw driver mean in this context?
punk band notorious for being neo nazis
Also notorious for not making that clear until the second album.
first album was a different singer i believe, who had nothing to do with nazism
That would explain things. Sad as the first album was good.
Tankies defend things like russian organised genocide during soviet union where they kept doing what hitler tried.
So just like skinheads they are all for human suffering. Arguing over semantics at this point.

I see the horseshoe theory has spread far and wide.
Because tankies are just red facists~
When that’s your best defense. You’ve already lost.
I live in Northern Europe, so I’m watching the fight and laughing my ass off.
That only makes your argument weaker
lol

As far as centrists are concerned, everyone to the left of Netanyahu is a tankie, and everyone to their left is somehow all the way to the right.
Maybe, but most Blåhaj or 196 users are far from being centrists.

In my experience, “tankie” is used in virtually all cases as a pejorative against the left, and not an identifier for actual tankies.
Making excuses for Russia or China’s ongoing crimes, and using the US’ crimes as a reason(?!?) for doing so, is usually what brings the term out.
Probably depends on where you hang out most.
