What is tankie?
Basically communists who defend Mao and Stalin. (And sometimes, oddly enough, the current governments of Russia and China.)

Thin skinned bunch, aren't they?
one thing amazes me for sure: there is still bunch of people loudly protecting their masters' right to exploit and rob them.
And they are doing this while are already living in the world destroyed and robbed by capital, where COVID showed how vulnerable and under-financed our healthcare system is, where due to the global competition and sinking profits of corporations countries are building alliances, and preparing a new big imperialistic war for us, where crisis goes after crisis together with high inflation globally, and where quality of life is sinking monthly.
