The left-right spectrum makes less sense to me by the day.
However, I personally define tankies as authoritians who do some mental gymnastics to think that a benevolent "socialist" dictatorship equates to control of society by the workers. (It obviously doesn't. A dictatorship by a minority is exactly that)
Anyone who defines North Korea as socialist needs to reconsider their political positions, in my opinion.
Just because they're in opposition to the capitalist South Korea and the worst imperialist nation in the world, the USA, doesn't mean you need to stand behind the North Korean regime...
All the cool socialists think campism is brainrot (my opinion)
The problem with any political label is that they're outdated by the time you define them.
