    If it’s “always meant supporting Russia” but the term was coined when Russia was run by the communist party and part of the USSR? Do you not think the communist that supported Russia “the Tankies” would be against the capitalist Oligarchy that Russia currently is?

    You’re just using a term to mean what you want it to. Definitely not what it’s “always meant”.

      1. Lemmygrad, ML, and Hexbear Tankies support all three with no distinctions.

      2. Economically Russia has transformed structurally it has not. More specifically it has regressed due to Putin ignoring term limits and empowering a loyal Oligarchy. Putin has even said publicly that he wants to restore the former Russian Empire.
