You seem to disagreeing with @sex_peach, because tankies supported one action of the USSR at one point in time.
Which I say is analogous to saying supporting the USA and supporting the Iraq War or supporting Donald Trump are all synonymous.
defining the USSR in this way (by acts performed under specific leaders) is like defining the USA based on Reaganism or Nixonism or Bushism
I think you have misunderstood my comment in some way.
