It’s been very funny to see the rhetorical slide in the last decade.

• Sure I’m a progressive but I’m not a socialist

-Sure I’m a socialist but I’m not some communist

-Sure I’m a communist but I’m not some kind of tankie

The overton window will continue to shift as conditions deteriorate, reform continues to fail, and us “tankies” continue to be proven correct about everything. Enjoy the ride
