    What you’re missing is that the tankies on .ml are just taking the name of marism-leninism. The philosophy is diametrically opposed to the modern CCP (which is now Capitalist) and Putin’s Russia (which is Fascist). And note that I pointed out that tankies support modern China and Russia.

    This is similar to how Stalin’s Soviet Union held very few similarities to what Karl Marx described despite referring to utself as Communist

      Tankies don’t only support modern fascist Russia, they also support Stalin and Mao. In fact, pick a brutal dictator, and they likely have full support. Pick any American sin (and there are many) that they decry and you’ll find them cheering and supporting and rationalizing a non-American committing that sin but worse.
