Usually complaining about "tankies" is just another way to hate Socialism, the Red Scare never ended and being aware of it doesn't make you immune to its effects in any capacity. "Left" anticommunists have a long legacy and have done immense damage to Socialism worldwide.

Blackshirts and Reds is phenomenal in total, but specifically the subsection Anticommunism & Wonderland should be necessary reading.

Even if you've got a legit beef with 1950s Stalinists, the idea that they've teleported through time to argue with you in English on a 4th rate social media forum is so fucking self-aggrandizing.

Would that Michael Parenti, David Grabber, and Richard Wolfe had been as ravenously consumed by Americans as Milton Friedman, David Brooks, and Anne Coulter.

No, everyone doesn't hate capitalism.

but everyone hates the big companies and the rich people

its just that the right has been told that the left are the rich people (and then the left say that the neoliberals are the rich people, etc)
