Seems reasonable to me. It’s strange to me how these people hate US liberals, never say a word about US conservatives, and love Russia and China, despite none of those things being in line with their professed beliefs.
Tankies go out of their way to defend an absolute hereditary monarchy just because the Kim Dynasty says they are communist, defending China is nothing in comparison. They are the same kind of idiots as the ones that fell for the “Sozialistische Arbeiterpartei” (socialist workers party) part of the NSAPD’s (aka Nazi party) name.
They’re not talking about liberals in the way the word is used in contemporary American politics, they’re using the classical definition of liberal which fits most mainstream Americans be them democrats or republicans.
Right, I understand that distinction, but their philosophy doesn’t make sense or hold consistence even in that context. The highest scorn is reserved for the most socialist American politicians, and American conservatives are pretty much 100% in line with the politics of Russia, other than gun control. Also, it makes no sense to revere China and Russia due to their governments being communist 60 years ago, because they are not now. Most of the discussion seems to be about foreign policy with little regard given to workers’ rights or economics.

You can’t be pro worker and pro China, the literal sweatshop nation.

North Korea isn’t a monarchy. It’s a necrocracy. Officially the first Kim is still leader, despite being dead.
Sounds like a theocracy with extra steps
It has layers, like onions, and green ogres.
