As for tankies… those fuckers are real, and are also pretty gross. But do note that a tankie is a specific type of authoritarian loving communist, who is perfectly happy to watch a communist country use literal tanks to crush any attempt at free speech or democracy.
After all, the original tankies cheered on the Soviet crushing of the Hungarian revolution, a revolution led by the local communists who wanted to remain a communist country, just not a soviet country.
I say that you cannot have a true communist country unless it’s also a true democracy. Having a single party with all others made illegal doesn’t count.
You also cannot have a true democracy under unchecked capitalism. But everyone knows that one.

Hungarians: “Actually, our interim government consists of a supermajority of socialist parties and we intend to-”
Tankies today: “F A S C I S T S”
I can honestly afford tankies back then a little more leeway - at least some of them were simply ignorant and giving the Sovs the benefit of the doubt given the limited ability to filter through information across the Iron Curtain reliably - but now we have so much information at our fingertips that it’s hard to believe people still repeat long-discredited propaganda.
