    Tankies objectively lack principles.

    The countries they hold up as the best examples of communism or the path to it are some of the furthest from its core principles, and show no signs of revisiting them without their people overthrowing the state.

      Wrong on all counts. The people in the PRC, Cuba, Vietnam, DPRK, Laos, Venezuela, Nicaragua, or even Belarus, etc. would all be thrown far backward if they dissolved their socialist (or quasi-socialist for Belarus) systems, opening themselves up to imperialist plunder.
