    Self proclaimed communists that claim to want power for the people but rally for an authoritarian dictator who holds all the power. Not much different from monarchists.

    Usually a strong idolatry and religious type fixation of deifying individuals to remain in power.

      Otherwise true, but I really wouldn’t compare tankies to monarchists, since AFAIK a lot of monarchists are only in favor of having a monarch as a figurehead and an elected government that holds the actual power.
