It's gotten to the point where even the mildest effective leftism will have at least one idiot crying tankie.

I've seen a lot of anarchists get called tankies even.

The anti-"tankie" stuff is proof that bourgeoisification theory is correct: privileged workers are bourgeoisified by the superprofits extracted from imperialized nations, they will contort themselves into ideological pretzels to protect their material interests against global communism.

Fortunately, the worsening material conditions caused by the decline of empire are de-bourgeoisifying the workers. The discourse is changing.
