Tankies are much closer to any capitalist and right winger then they are to leftists. They pretty much use the same tactics as capitalists and even fascists for everything. They lack the ability to understand why you can’t just force communism on people after not giving a fuck about even teaching the people about communism. They call them selfs communists not because they see the power it has to being better lives to the people but instead see the type of status that a communist country can get and they see the power that communist countries have as something to be proud of above all else. They see the issues that the common people face as small so the USSR wasn’t a fail because to them it did everything it needed to since helping the common people was never even the plan.
