    My least favourite argument is them pointing to the reduction in poverty.

    Like, I could say the same for capitalism. Which I won’t because capitalism needs to be abolished, but just “there was a massive reduction in poverty therefore system good” is stupid.

    Tankies aren’t socialists in my eyes because socialism necessarily needs to be democratic control by the people.
