Tankie here. Marxists-Leninist don’t condone stochastic violent acts during capitalism against Capitalists, the word we use to refer to such tactics is “adventurism”, and it’s criticized heavily.
He’s telling the truth for once. MLs don’t believe that workers should have agency over their lives or the revolution. They only condone violence against capitalists if leadership ordered them to. They’re very much a top down belief system hence the “Tankie” part: ie enforcing political orthodoxy with the threat of violence against the workers.
Then you don’t support Russia, China, or North Korea and you’re not a tankie, or you do support those entities and you’re lying about their activities, in either scenario that’s bullshit.
That’s your definition. To me, it means essentially “Marxist-Leninist who supports actually existing socialist projects”. I still fail to see what my views on some countries have to do with adventurism.

What do Russia, China or the DPRK have to do with stochastic acts of violence against capitalists?
If you’re a Tankie
You support Russia, China, and The Dictatorship of North Korea.
That’s like the definition of the word.
