I don't think they care, Russia is no longer communist.
To explain what I mean. I noticed that while term "tankies" is accepted as a term to refer to communists (particularly communists that would defend use of tanks on civilians), today's tankies are also defending Russia which isn't communist anymore (it's more fascist than anything). Even those on lemmygrad. It feels like it never was about communism, but it always was about totalitarianism and Soviets.
Few would argue they were ever communist
The fact that there's no replies yet suggests that essays are incoming. Though honestly I've found that tankies debate mostly with downvotes.
Ok lib.
