Look at how much they care about worker enfranchisement in the totalitarian regimes they idolise.

They're just red fascists.

Fascist =/= authoritarian.

People use the words interchangeably but they mean specific things. North Korea for example is authoritarian but not facist.

Tankies tend to point to the USSR, China, and DPRK - I'd argue all of them fit Umberto Eco's widely used definition of fascism pretty well.

In this context, it's a distinction without a difference. What difference does this even make?

I can’t address that because idk what they think about it.
