Words evolve and change in meaning. Calling someone a tankie in 2023 is not a comment on their opinions of an event that happened a lifetime ago.
Right, now Tankie is all but useless because liberals and so-called leftists that criticize communism use it the same way conservatives use “woke”
I actually think conservatives usually use the term "woke" correctly, though? Like, everything they call "woke" is typically good.
Yeah, much like how everything liberals call "tankie" is actually good.
OK, is there a more recent case where you believe supporting the US over critically supporting its opposition is vindicated by history?
I don't generally believe in supporting the US, since it is an emperialist, capitalist country.
