It's gotten to the point where even the mildest effective leftism will have at least one idiot crying tankie.

I've seen a lot of anarchists get called tankies even.

I don't think it's feds, I think it's just the brainworms one develops after 100 years of cold war propaganda. "Sure, capitalism is literally killing us all, but 1984 animal farm means there can be nothing positive to learn from the USSR or China (who aren't even communist actually)"
