    Sure, but I mean at what point, right?

    To cut to the chase, I’m asking what specifically separates Tankies from Communists. Where is the line drawn? I see a lot of people (myself included) labeled a tankie for recommending people read Marx, or saying that Lenin was a Marxist, regardless of if you agree with him or not.

    At what point would a Communist be considered a tankie?

      I thought that the line was that one supports owning the means of production and the other supports authoritarian governments, am I confused?
