      The Soviet Union has been dead for nearly 30 years now. Yet it still haunts the imagination of many Americans, both liberal & conservative. That's strange.

      The confederacy has been gone for 150. It obviously retains cultural ans political relevance. This is a weird take!

      Sure but there are many more neo-Confederates in America than there are tankies.

      I might invite you into my mentions the next time I discuss what my experience in the USSR in 1985 was like. There appears to be a disturbing amount of revisionist history going on in some leftist circles and denial about the USSR having been an authoritarian surveillance state.

      Well, I think tankies are a case -- not the only one -- where social media allows a small committed group to present themselves as much larger than they are in real life.

      And what about those who celebrate or defend those who followed in Soviet Communism's wake? I still see lots of Che shirts

      Maybe! But you are also a college professor and are thus around a more at risk population

      I work out of a college campus (or did pre-Covid) and I haven't seen Che shirts in at least 10 years. I mean, I'm sure they exist but doesn't seem super pressing.

          How about we get mad at Che shirts just as soon as political science professors stop making us read Clash of Civilizations unironically?

          Not only is it not pressing but Che shirts are as relevant as a young bartender wearing a Ramones shirt. There is zero familiarity with the subject by the person wearing the shirt. It’s just a style.

          I'm constantly shocked by all the shirts I see endorsing masked vigilante violence -- by which I mean Batman and Spider-Man.
