everyone I don't agree with is a tankie: an emotional child's guide to political discussions online

You are the literal definition of tankie when you side with the tanks against the civilians they were used on. You're a USSR fan. You're precisely what people refer to.

USSR was a degenerate workers state, though the degeneration didn't fully take hold until 1930s. The concept of socialism in one country was a revisionist drivel against which Lenin fought his entire life. The Hungarian Revolution of 1956 established soviets (worker and peasant councils) with direct democracy without privilege all over the country. it's a shame that the political upheaval in the USSR didn't go further and the calls to not only criticize Stalin but also Khrushchev didn't materialize, as well as his plan to return at least some democracy to the party for which he got ousted.
