Yeah, I think tankies and anarcho socialist types want wildly different things only that there's a not insignificant amount of overlap in how they're both looking to achieve it.

For the record, I think capitalism is a failed system (well, for anyone other than the billionaire class) but while I and a tankie might agree on certain things it is for different reasons. Cue the Gustavo Fring meme
