Yea, people that supported a dictatorial regime with socialist aesthetics as in the USSR. What part of that has changed?

    The USSR was literally more democratic than bourgeois democracy.

    It really depends on which bourgeois democracy. I may agree if compared to the US (I'm not too educated on the US so I could be wrong) but few others.

    Though I fail to understand how that has anything to do with the topic of tankie having a consistent definition.

    You claim that the USSR was a dictatorship with socialist aesthetics.

    Also, no, no bourgeois democracy is or was as democratic as the USSR. Look up dictatorship of the bourgeoisie vs dictatorship of the proletariat.

    Dictatorship of the proletariat as Marx wrote has never been achieved and arguably(Depending on how naive you believe Lenin was) has never even been worked towards. MLs bastardization of that in the form of a vanguard party is just a different dictatorship of the bourgeoisie as it creates a ruling class.

    Have you read marxist theory? What have you read? This comes off as grossly misinformed.
