the remaining differences are mostly about aesthetics and not about the use of violence to maintain hegemony

The western powers led by the US use tanks far more often also. The US never gets accused of being tankies, even tho it used tanks in almost every one of its wars, including the wars on Iraq, Panama, Grenada.
It also uses tanks domestically against the people (police in every city have tank-like vehicles). They also used tanks in the waco standoff also where they burned ~100 people alive.
Of course the US prefers bombing people from the sky, but that's not considered an atrocity by western chauvinists.
