    They are all okay with “communist” China and Russia

    I’ll spot you China, since we get a “DAE think Chinese President looks Yellow?!” posts daily. But then we’re just describing Tankies as people who are tired of the elementary school tier racism with a Disney fetish.

    Russian Communism, such that it was, got dismantled way back in the 90s. Outside the handful of terminally online grifters that branded themselves MAGA-Communists or whatever, who is seriously conflating the United Russia Party leadership with your Allendes or Castros or Mandelas?

    Tankies just use leftist populism as a facade

    At this point, I’m going to need to see some names. Who are these actual tankies? Can you point to one?

    Cause I’m beginning to think you’re describing Tucker Carlson.
