An ideology is defined as “a system of ideas and ideals, especially one which forms the basis of economic or political theory and policy.”
As such, believing in, supporting the behavior of autocratic regimes, and their perverse, fucked up zombified corpse of a true leftist community is an ideology.
So, it’s a perjorative then.
Sure like calling a Nazi a Nazi is technically pejorative. More importantly, it’s a warning identifier to others.
A Nazi is a real thing, there was a Nazi party that ruled a country, and there are still people nowadays who adhere to the ideals of that party.
There was never a “Tankie” party, it’s something that only exists in your head and has no representation in the real world.
It doesn’t have to be a defined party to be an ideology. It’s pretty hilarious y’all are defending authoritarian Stans
So Zante was right.
It’s clearly an ideology as well, which is what I was addressing. (Ideology/idolize)
Well no, it’s clearly not. Like you said, it’s a perjorative.
Two things can be true. By my word choice it is clear that “absolutely not” was directed at “ideology”.
Edit How is it not? People believe in the actions of authoritarians larping as leftists. They further idolize their personalities.
That’s not an ideology though, that’s just you saying “they like people who I think are bad.” That’s like calling “woke” an ideology.

No, an ideology is defined as what your believe, not who you support.
