The term Tankie has a clear definition that Cowbee likes to ignore:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those > who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the > occurrence of the events thereof.

Isn't most of that stuff building on former stuff too? So like, maybe to someone who isn't deep into art can't understand it but someone who knows what's led up to a certain piece being made, what artists it's influenced by and why, what it's saying, what it's critiquing, who it's speaking to, all these things are important aspects.

It's like... Most advanced science is completely nonsense if you don't have the basic science to understand it? I think that's what I'm getting at.
