    Maybe tankies are the way they are because they live in some bastardized allegory of the cave where all they’ve ever learned about Stalin is from Duncan White, director of the Alliance of British Drivers.

      The tankies I’ve known have almost all been middle-class contrarian twats. They often convert to the hard right when they get older, maybe because it increases their chances of actually being able to ruin people’s lives.

            That’s actually disgusting, talking like that about a fucking socialist activist who spent his life making the lives of others better. The guy was fucking beat up by cops for organizing protests against the Vietnam war, and forbidden from teaching in universities afterwards. Have some fucking respect
