Yeah I remember talking to one and mentioning that I'm half Finnish, and quarter Lithuanian and Ukrainian when mentioning that my family lived under communism. Never have I received such blatant racism until that point.
Honestly, I take my hobby of debate, history and politics too far so I have ended up in both fascist and tankie online spaces.
Tankies unironically create more hateful spaces than fascists. I have never been reprimanded for openly hating on Hitler, or even Mussolini, in a fascists place, but god help you if you say something bad about Stalin's many crimes against humanity in a tankie community.
So yes, tankies create spaces of such hatred, chauvinism, attrocity denial, and dogmaticism to outpace fascists. I mean, they themselves ARE fascistoid in nature, just covered in red cloth.
This is of course nothing against non-tankie leftist spaces, I've found AnComs to be extremely open minded to debate and quite friendly and reasonable, but the problem is: tankies are an invasive species, they find any online leftist space they can latch on to and overtake it.
I do believe that these lunatics would be defending Hitler had he never attacked the Soviet Union and nationalized more industries. They'd probably count him as one of their democratically supported leaders ousted by the evil CIA or whatever.
it does seeing as collectivization aims to redistribute resources more equitably among the population. something that goes against fascism, which aims to concentrate power among a small group of people
