Tankies aren't leftists in reality.

Maybe left of Nazis, but they aren't leftists.

The political left and authoritarianism are inherently contradictory.

Its the political right that embraces authoritarianism. Hence why we call them "Red Fascists"

    The political left and authoritarianism are not contradictory. Leftists are not always Libertarians, and many of them will and do trade freedom for safety regularly.

    The nazis' economy was a shell game of debt, and they were overextended militarily. Their regime would have fallen even if they had won the war. Secondly, the USSR at first joined forces with the nazis until they were betrayed by them, and after the soviets joined the allies, they received massive aid under the lend-lease act. And even with the aid, they still had to rely on human-wave tactics.
