It’s pretty interesting reading a bunch of people at completely different stages of their political journey argue against each other. Their one commonality is mostly completely making up what we believe in and not liking China and the USSR.
Exactly! There are those that fully support bog-standard liberalism side by side with people who have moved beyond that, but only just. It’s one of those cases where they are often both wrong, or one is right for the wrong reasons, etc.

Tankies just means whatever they currently arent. Its not about us but about what they are not.
