    Its fair to criticize me for using the term tankies. What is a better term for one who support these countries?

      Socialists. A certain section of people is known as communists. There are trotskyists as well. ML and non ML socialists. Stalinists, Leninists, Maoists. The last one is considered too absurd by many socialists in today’s day and age.

      Calling socialists “tankies” is EXACTLY the same as calling ALL right wing or conservative people Nazis. That is how BS that sounds like.

      Please do not downvote this fellow. People should know why using the term tankies for all socialists is wrong.
