I would say stalinism (which is what tankies are so enamored with) is very conservative or even reactionary from a social point of view, even if it’s not from an economic perspective.
What is conservative economics anyway? It seems to mostly consist of lying about economic competence and fiscal responsibility combined with tax cuts for the rich and general corruption judging by the actual conservative parties in most countries.
“They” turned me into a newt.
“They” took our jobs.
“They” are really just pretending and are actually far right.
The number of strongly opinionated “they” messages from blahaj users any time hexbear is mentioned is impressive.
The patriotism is always surprising to me too. I never knew America being shitty on the world stage was controversial. Like, I figured that out when they overthrew democratic governments to support dictators.
