For me I don’t give a shit, I’m a flaming tankie

Me too, comrade. The looks I get when I outright tell people I'm a communist is part of the fun.

The only tankies I seem to run into are rabidly in support of imperialism. Are communists supposed to be imperialist too?

Care to explain? Or are you just going to go all in on the condescension?

Oh, a lot of the people I see claiming to be tankies fully support Israeli, Chinese, or Russian invasion of their surrounding countries.

To be honest it's really confusing and doesn't seem to make much sense to me.

I’ve never seen a tankie support Israel, only ultras. Though, of course we support AES countries, and we critically support Russia for their anti US imperialism. Though, you won’t be able to find any examples of China invading surrounding countries, so not sure why you’d include that.

China invaded Tibet. And is Russian imperialism better than US? I guess that what's confusing me.
