    How do communists have a “black and white” worldview? Dialectical Materialism is useful because it works against such worldviews as are standard within liberalism.

      Not all communist are tankies. Tankies mainly get trashed by communist and anarchist.

        “Tankie” is just a pejorative for communist, akin to “commie, pinko, and red.” It’s a caricature, not an actual ideological position.

          Well, yes. In its caricature it still puts a focus in people who defend any state that calls itself communist in defiance of their institutional violence. So its not just any commi being a tankie
