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.

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.

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.
