Eh, even though i disagree with the entirety of the tankies' positions, I wouldn't say they are unable to understand complex topics. Reading and understanding Marx alone is quite the herculean task. I'd say it's less of complex understanding abilities and more of fanaticism for the unorthodox.
80% of tankies have never read Marx. Guaranteed.
Fair enough. Many on lemmy.ml seem to have though, and i typically use them as a benchmark when referring to tankies
Quoting/copy-pasting isn’t the same thing as understanding it though.
What makes you think they don't understand it?
I’ve interacted with them.
I've interacted with them too, and they seem to know what they're preaching. However insane they might come off
