I mean, I guess you probably would? Epstein was explicitly targeting people with wealth and power to bring into his gross "parties", so if you had "tankies" with wealth and power, he'd have been targeting them and it's not unbelievable that some of them might have gone for it - if you gain the kind of wealth and power the people Epstein was courting have, you probably don't have any real moral principles.

I wonder why tankies never seem to have that wealth and power. Could it be that in order to become the kind of wealthy socialite Epstein was doing, you would have to abandon your communist principles entirely? No, it's the children that are wrong...

The PSL, along with a number of other Marxist-Leninist and progressive groups, is backed by an American multi-hundred-millionaire left-winger, Neville Singham. I haven't found him in any of the Epstein files at all, and he's a quite wealthy and powerful guy, along with being a literal tankie.

This might be true though, but I think the emphasis might be more on "the kind" and "socialite" than wealthy. Doing stuff with Epstein kinda requires abandoning your principles it seems, if you had any, even if those principles weren't at all communist. Pedophilia being bad is a nominally common principle.
