    Idk, have we got their official position on the Hungarian Revolt of 1956? Have they denounced Che Guevera and the Cuban Revolution in all its forms? Do they agree that China isn’t a real country, it’s territory should be liberated from the oppressive CCP, and the government should be broken up into a constellation of micro-states?

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

        The term “tankie” was originally used by dissident Marxist–Leninists to describe members of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) who followed the party line of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). Specifically, it was used to distinguish party members who spoke out in defence of the Soviet use of tanks to suppress the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the 1968 Prague Spring, or who more broadly adhered to pro-Soviet positions
