Revolution is the only way left-wing governments have historically been solidified. Bolivia tried the democratic process, and this failed, so now a potential revolution is brewing as clashes between the far-right and the primarily indigenous socialists are erupting. Allende tried the democratic process in Chile, and was coup’d for it.
It’s a pejorative for those who support existing socialist states.
A tankie is anyone who supports violent left wing regimes. It requires support of violence and doesn’t require that the regime still exists.
All revolutions are inherently violent, so again, this just circles back to supporting socialist states.
No one said anything about revolution.
