It’s the most anti-communist country on the planet, so there’s not much hope. Talk of raising wages or organizing collectively, or not agreeing with US imperialist foreign policy gets you labelled a commie / tankie by its witch-hunting, McCarthyite majority.
If there’s a list of countries to next take the communist road, the US would be dead last.

There were quite literally people throwing around the term “tankie” in this very thread.

Sure, but IRL and outside media I still hear “tankie” more than “commie,” and more importantly the original comment was made in the context of Lemmy.
You’ve heard people use the term “tankie” IRL? Damn, even the most brainpoisoned libs I know don’t do that.
Only once, and in passing, lol. The word is definitely very online

It relates to talking with USians in general, which includes interactions online, including Lemmy.
