Truly. Any moderate support for AES? Immediately labeled a tankie, I've seen Anarchists and even Liberals labeled a tankie. The term only exists to punch left from the Liberal POV, just like "Woke" is used to punch anything left of fascism.

What are you referring to with "AES"? (I only know it as an encryption method and Google ain't helping)

Actually Existing Socialism. Cuba, China, Vietnam, the former USSR, etc.
