The head of Iran’s parliamentary committee on national security and foreign policy said that by providing drone support to Israel, Ukraine has “effectively become involved in the war.”

Zelenskyy earlier stated that Kyiv has already deployed interceptor drones and a team of specialists to help protect US military bases in Jordan.

      For the third time in this thread I will go ahead and correct your intentional misinformation campaign.

      Tankie is a pejorative for auth communists.

      You’re insidiously trying to act as if this is the red scare 2.0. There’s a reason we call you tankies. It’s because you’re tankies.

        “I’m right because I’m right!”

        Very compelling

          I mean, I pretty clearly defined the difference between tankies and communists.

          I’m sorry you’re not compelled by basic reasoning skills and are unable to differentiate two things when they are laid out in front of you as categorically different and the definition is given. Idk. Skill issue.

            Lol, go back to reddit you fucking nerd. Talking like an anime villain written by Joss Wheadon isn’t actually a compelling argument past 12 years old

        What does “authoritarian” mean, in your words? If the overwhelming majority of communists support socialist states, isn’t that just being a communist? I support the working class having the authority of the state to suppress capitalists and fascists, and I am against the capitalist class having that authority. I’m also for a democratically run society. What separates my views from what you believe a “non-authoritarian communist” believes?

          Lmao. You know very well that the idea of stateless communism exists, so no. The overwhelming majority of self-described communists support socialist states? According to who? Polling from CPUSA? Your interpersonal relationships? There are plenty of leftists on lemmy who would call themselves anarchosocialist or anarchocommunist. But okay, sure, I kinda get the idea behind “well if the majority agrees that a socialist state is required for communism, doesn’t that just make it communism?”. But these people are ALSO sometimes communist. Tankie is a pejorative mostly used by leftists to punch right, not by liberals to punch left. That’s been what I’ve seen. Liberals don’t even know what the fuck a tankie is outside of lemmy. Liberals here just use it because actual leftists use it to punch right at auth commies.

          Don’t joke with me. You know the material difference between a state imposing law on sometimes unwilling citizens and people that live harmoniously in good will with one another.
