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

          “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

              The overwhelming majority of communists support socialist countries like China, Cuba, Vietnam, etc. If “tankie” applies to the overwhelming majority of communists, then it’s just a pejorative for communists.
