    Fun fact: you can be opposed to capitalism without being a communist.

    You [tankies] maybe opposed to capitalism, but you’re still in favor of the coercive control of individuals by a state-level entity. That’s just another flavor of authoritarianism.

        That’s closer to anarchism then communism. Communism, as it’s generally developed, has a central state authority.

        Personally, I see the existence of a state and individual liberties as always under tension. You can’t have a state without some infringement on individual expressions. But some restriction on individual expression is necessary for a functioning society. The question is what infringements and under what circumstances are acceptable.
