This is just labeling anyone not an anarchist tankies. The actual number of new MLs is still tiny compared to non aligned Socialists. Like none of the people I know IRL who have spent the time reading Lenin (including myself) identify as MLs or as tankies in the OG sense in any way whatsoever. If anything the biggest camp is vague unaligned heterodox Marxists. I mean even some of the famous American MLs like Angela Davis have not identified as such for decades at this point and have very intentionally stopped doing so.

"Stalin did nothing wrong" teens are virtually non existent offline.
