Not a defense of Chomsky because fuck him, but he claimed he was an anarcho-syndicalist, i.e. not a tankie. Not everyone who sucks is a tankie.

    I agree that he is technically not a tankie, I guess campist would be a more accurate term. But considering these recent revelations, one would does wonder...

    Were there any "tankies" on Epstein's plane?

    Can someone who is anti-Soviet and anti-China be considered a tankie?

    Can someone who justifies russian imperialism and promotes russian propaganda copytext be considered a tankie? :)

    In all seriousness, Chomsky is not tankie.

    That being said, what's with the association with US oligarchs involved with abuse of minors and happy photos with US authoritarians?

    Chomsky is anti-Russia too, what are you talking about?

    Answer my question first: were there any “tankies” on Epstein’s plane? Chomsky isn't one, so name one.

    I don't know, I am guessing not.
