Top U.S. intelligence officials say Russia, China and Iran are continuing to target voters in the U.S. with disinformation and propaganda related to the upcoming presidential election.
I see. So, when people speak about tankies, they’re not talking about all people that support communism. If someone wants to peacefully advocate for communist ideas that’s one thing, and I have absolutely nothing against that.
Tankies are specifically militaristic communists, usually very fond of Stalin and speaking fondly of the CCP military. It’s the tank part, it’s how they got the name. That’s why I ask if there’s any realistic way that tanks can address US housing prices. It’s not just to defend themselves either, the USSR did plenty of offensive tank rolling over the years. If the idea is a CCP invasion of the mainland US with said tanks, I do not find that very credible. If it’s the US rising up and seizing the means of production, I find that similarly unlikely.
Whether communism is actually viable in the modern world is an entirely separate discussion as well. The US did not bring down every communist regime worldwide. China even instituted some reforms away from it with no US interference, not that long ago.

It would be nice if they did. Because when capitalism collapses here, it won’t be pretty.
You know you could always just emigrate there.
No. There’s no way I would qualify for an immigration visa.
