Tankies have no meaningful communism to defend. They’re not defending communist states, they’re defending a right wing authoritarian oligarchy, and an authoritarian corporatocracy. They’re not ideologues. They’re contrarian bootlickers.

If you read their rhetoric, tankies do tend to defend communism in general. They grab the theories of Marx and Lenin and whatever to do this.

Oh yes of course in their stated goals sure. But in the day to day commentary it’s all just worshiping of authoritarian states that abandoned their core economic socialist principles decades ago.
