    I’m normally really wary about upvoting anything posted on hexbear, but in this case the article is well-reasoned and well-written, and the USSR fanbois adequately upset, so all in all thumbs-up.

        Isn’t this the most upvoted comment in the thread?

        This article is idiotic. It’s anticommunist drivel that just exists to help the western left rationalize shitting on actually existing/existed socialism in China/USSR because they weren’t green enough.

        Sounds rather upset to me.

            Good good. Happy for you.

            But I struggle to see how Saito can be called a tankie when he’s so critical of the Soviet Union and of historical communism.

            Or maybe we have fundamentally incompatible definitions of what is a tankie.

            Don’t get me wrong: I like Saito’s ideas. Are they going to happen? No.
