that sub often tended towards outright anti-leftism

That's the unfortunate thing.

Start criticizing the Soviet union and you'll end up with a bunch of people left bashing in general.

what with all the anti-communist fascists and all

"tankies" criticize the Soviet union, you know? They also criticize the ebil See See Pee but apparently there's no room for nuance

What's your definition of "tankie"? If you're willing to call out Putin's homophobic journalist murdering authoritarian bullshit and the Chinese government's massacring of protesters and genociding of ethnic minorities you're not a tankie imo, you're just a communist.
