    I never said anything about you praising authoritarian leaders, that’s the picture you’re painting in your head. Whether or not you’re praising them, I think ‘supreme leader’ encompasses the definition:

    “leaders behavior that asserts absolute authority and control over subordinates and [that] demands unquestionable obedience from subordinates.”

    Unquestionable obedience. Like a master and a slave. Like a dog.

    ‘Tankie’ is often associated with Marxist-Leninists.

    Taken from the ‘communism’ wiki page,

    Communists often seek a voluntary state of self-governance but disagree on the means to this end. This reflects a distinction between a more libertarian approach of communization, revolutionary spontaneity, and workers’ self-management, and a more authoritarian vanguardist or communist party-driven approach through the development of a socialist state followed by the withering away of the state.

    Would you look at that. Authoritarian approach. The root of disagreement among communist.

      Wow a completely misinterpreted paragraph copied directly from wikipedia, you sure showed me.

      I never said anything about you praising authoritarian leaders, that’s the picture you’re painting in your head.

      You started going on about “supreme leaders” out of nowhere, how exactly was I supposed to interpret that?

      Either way I think it’s funny that the other user who replied to you gave a much more detailed and educated answer than I did yet you chose to ignore them and reply to me instead. You don’t actually to want to have a conversation and learn things, you’re just here to troll.
