Are tankies even really leftists?

Yes, they want to seize the means of production and start a vanguard state.

Most of them don't want to do Stalin shit, they just don't believe he did Stalin shit.

The problem is this bit of denial, besides the rampant insanity, comes out as "aMerIcA bAD aLwAYs" instead of "I think all criticism of the USSR and CCP is a psyop. Also I don't realize the Russian Federation has more in common with the Tsars than the USSR."
