A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I don't think any of the examples you linked are things which could credibly be called Tankieism in my eyes. Corbin saying that those regimes on balance did more good than harm is not the same as directly defending genocide as some of the programmers of this site do.
I'm a Bernie Sanders democrat and disagree with both the Tankie positions of the programmers and those you link to, but I don't consider both to be examples of Tankieism.
