    I see, personally I find Tankies to be overall harmful to change, specifically the people who will defend that there are no problems with existing states, even the dprk and such

      I haven’t met anyone that thinks that there are no problems with existing socialist states. I think you see pushback against common liberal critique of socialist states as a belief that there’s no socialist critique. Either way, “tankies” by the way I have described them are the only ones that have actually gotten change, be they the Cubans, soviets, Chinese, etc.
