Nazis and tankies are both totalitarian - people just seem to have forgotten the term.

What is it "Tankies" advocate for that is "totalitarian?" The term "tankie" is the new "woke," it's a strawman and a bundle of contradictions based on misinterpretations, misunderstandings, and being entirely unfamiliar with Marxism.

I suggest reading Blackshirts and Reds, Communism and Communist movements are and have historically been entirely different in aim, goals, practices, and context from fascism and fascist movements.
