There are still plenty of members of the Leninist tankie cult left - look at the positions of most Communist Parties in Europe.

I’m a fan of the term Kleptocracy. It seems to describe well a lot of newish regimes in south east Asia and south America, and it applies well to China and the United States of America as well.
But the tankies now call themselves as “right wing christian, conservative, nationalists”, see orban, trump, putin, etc…

The closest thing you find to support for trump in there is some of them thinking he is a less effective imperialist.
