Downplay fascists all you want. But Tankies arent very different from fascists.
The historical origin of the term tankie is CPGB members getting mad that Khruschev put down an antisemitic, fascist, CIA-backed fake revolution in Hungary lol.
"Hello fellow leftists I think crushing fascists with tanks is the same as crushing civilians with tanks"
Its funny how libs that think they're socialists or very left, or whatever may have one AES that for some reason is okay. Vietnam with this lib, I've seen some that believe all the State Dep shit, except about Cuba. Its like, why just that one place? Have you considered the rest?
With Vietnam in particular, some US liberals have a sort of guilt thing because of the Vietnam war, but something both Cuba and Vietnam have in common (with respect to both): They're not very big, they're not very powerful. I think the support you sometimes see for them is extremely dependent on them remaining largely powerless. Kind of the same reason for the whole "supporting every revolution, except the ones that succeeded" thing.
Also, with Cuba in particular, for many of them it was the family planning law that made Cuba the most LGBT-friendly nation on earth. Like, people who shat on Cuba and derided it as "authoritarian" before that had a sudden change of heart, almost as though it was the first real thing they learned about Cuba and it fucking blew their minds or something.

I dont complain about Vietnam. They never caused problems to their neighbours.
