      Do you think the groups I mentioned aren’t tankies, or do you think the majority of people you would describe as tankies aren’t doing what they do?

        CPUSA (before they turned reformist)

        Answered your own fucking question before you even asked it.

        Marxist ideology doesn’t not make one a tankie. Shitposting online to convince people not to pull the levers of power in front of them does.

          Pretending that choosing between two genocidal imperialist parties is a path to working class power is incompatible with Marxism, though. It would still be incorrect to think electing a socialist party would result in socialism, but it’s astronomically incorrect to think picking between genocidal imperialist parties is a meaningful path to worker liberation.
