If you're not aware, the 1956 revolution was a socialist revolution. Workers wanted to seize factories from the Red Army and the CCCP-backed Hungarian Worker's Party to establish direct control over the means of production and a more neutral stance in the Cold WarPermalink On twitter.com

Another fun fact: this is actually where the term "tankie" comes from. Leftists who supported the Soviet party line of sending tanks into Hungaria were "tankies". And leftists who backed a socialist movement independent of the USSR in Hungary were not.Permalink On twitter.com

That's why tankie is a derogatory term. It's a leftist accusing another leftist of caring more about Soviet/Chinese hegemony than socialism itself. Anyway nowhere in the history of the 1956 uprising is there room for the ideology Joe Biden ascribes toOn twitter.com
