This is tankie? It seems just communist.

After everything that happened in the 20th century to learn from, is there any difference?

The tankies don’t seem particularly picky about whether their contrarian cause celebres are actually socialist or just a dickhead dictator and his rich mates.

You say that as if the Venn diagram of Tankies and modern-day Communists isn't 99% on the way to being a circle.

This is just critical theory, and meta science. Both of which are legitimate fields.
