Tankies don’t encourage the Russian system, Russia is a neoliberal capitalist country not very different from the rest of Europe in terms of economic policy. Some tankies critically support Russia in the geopolitical sphere (stress on “critically”) because it stands against the USA (by choice of the USA) and therefore ends up supporting a lot of lesser-evils globally such as Assad and Khomeinei or even some good ones like Ibrahim Traoré.
Also, idk what you mean by transphobic. I have a hexbear account (by all means you’d call them tankies) and it’s the most trans-supportive space I’ve seen.
All the evils are on the same side. Trump and putin are huge pals now. Theres china but they commited countless genocides and are silently ereasing queer culture. The original tankies came from supporting the russian obliteration of the 1956 hungarian revolution. Most communists did not support it but the tankies were too busy nibling on russian dick and/or only believed in communism enforced with violenc, which is a shit take by itself even before you get to the issue of the ussr not being communist. As for transphobes, hexbear encouraged people really heavily to vote third-party, which we all know doesnt work in the usa, and thus basically helped trump who has been a catastrophy for trans rights. Im pretty sure tho hexbear is pretty openly pro-trans so that mightve been just idiocity. On the other hand, ml’s literal administrator and owner is a huge open transphobe.
