I keep hearing the term in political discourse, and rather than googling it, I’m asking the people who know better than Google.

I don’t know that Kier Starmer wants anything concrete in particular, but tankies are certainly people who simp for dictatorships like Russia or China while claiming that the capitalist abusive governments of them are ‘communist’.
No communist “simps” for the Russian Federation, support for the RF extends to the fact that it does a lot of trade with socialist countries like China and Cuba, opposes western imperialism, and has a populace increasingly in support of a return to socialism. Communists do tend to support China, as China is a socialist country. Public ownership is the principle aspect of their economy.
Please point to a single person on Lemmy who calls the Russian government communist and supports it
Glad we pulled you out of your shell after a day of not commenting. This is a very low-quality reply. Try to make more high-quality replies to contribute to discussions on Lemmy. Thanks.
