Okay I’ll ask the obvious question… what are tankies?

"Communists" who think USSR and CCP are good. They often deny their war crimes, then when you prove them they attempt to justify them. Basically red fascists.

“It was a necessary evil against aggression”

“It was a guerrilla group unaffiliated to the red cause”

“It was an attack by the the blues to make us look bad”

Etc.

Pick your poison.
