"Anti-Tankie" tendencies are so obviously the fucking shortcut here, you get to just not engage with the largest chunk of revolutionary socialist history and theory because you declare it illegitimate and politically insincere, as well as frame things in matters of immaterial ideals and black and white principles that just do not survive the translation into real world practice and experience!
Like how is it not a fucking shortcut if your ideology lets you declare countries that survived for over half a century and beyond complete failures, while parties and organizations that couldn't make it out of their periods of civil war are outstanding successes due to how they represent pure ideals and principles while the former failed to be that pure?
