That doesn’t change though, that those tankies usually identify themselves as some flavour of leftist while praising/apologizing stalin, mao, kim jong, putin, xi jinping, etc. in the same sentence. While you might say they’re no true leftists, they would very much disagree.
Red fascist ideology is about building a hierarchy, specifically an ideological hierarchy, which is mutually exclusive from the leftist position of deconstructing hierarchies.
The Nazis described themselves as national socialists. They were lying. So are tankies.
