It's such a suspicious coincidence that both tankies and right wingers like these guys

We like Lula, not Bolsonaro or Trump. It's such a suspiciuous coincidence that all liberals don't know how to read.

By the the way, did you know in Argentina leftists call right wingers liberals? It's funny how our right wing is your left wing.

We, left-wingers, like Lula.

Right wingers aren't liberal and never will be, even though they've tried to steal that term many many times. From leaders like Lula actually. I'm pretty sure he can read.

It is funny that tankies are like reactionary right wingers, just pretending not to be

(or maybe think they aren't 🤔)

Liberalism, being inextricably intertwined with capitalism, is a right-wing ideology. Tankies are often on the wrong side of the issue, but that’s because, like fascists and conservatives, they are reactionaries. Tankies take the side of certain established powers because those powers advertise themselves as resistance to liberal capitalism, without realizing or caring that fascists are manipulating their support. Actual leftists care first and foremost about harm reduction.
