I have heard the usual “commie” bullshit and that they deny Uyghur genocide / stalin’s crimes etc. I don’t have a negative opinion of them, in fact they are one of the most kind and emphatic people on lemmy so I wanted a bit of background. Thanks!

Those factors are what help identify a “tankie”, among other things. Communists are cool, but apologia of atrocities is not an inherent tenet of communism, despite what some people on the sketchier parts of Lemmy would have you think.
yeah, that does make sense
