    They’re terminally online and have never read anything, never thought about anything seriously, they’re useful idiots for fascists at best and, a lot of times, just fascists.

    Most self aware tankie.

    , if you self-label as anti-communist

    Anti-tankie ≠ anti-communist

    Tankies aren’t communists, that’s why I’m against them.

    EDIT: I didn’t realise this was a Lemmygrad community. No wonder y’all fascists are calling me a liberal despite me being a communist, I was confused for a second.

      Bro, wtf is a tankie if not a communist? You’re just out here making up bullshit. I want a definition!

      I’ve been led to believe “tankie” was referring to fans of the USSR, which, I suppose if you wanna be annoying, one could argue “weren’t communists.” But you didn’t do that. You didn’t say “Stalin betrayed Marxist Leninism” or whatever. I could assume that’s what you meant, but I’d rather read it from you.

      It’s starting to feel like, to me, that tankie just means “someone more left than me, and that makes me angry!” Because I can say who isn’t calling people tankies. That would be Marxists of whatever variety. I can also say who does seem to be using that word all the time… socdems, liberals, sometimes outright fascists. It definitely seems to be the bludgeon of liberals who fancy themselves to be socialists though. I’m going to include most leftist anarchists under the umbrella of liberal because that’s just how I roll. Like a big ol’ tank.

        Most politically literate tankie.

        Tankies aren’t communists. They simp for capitalist dictatorships.

        to me, that tankie just means “someone more left than me, and that makes me angry!”

        Funny, because that’s how I feel about “liberal” whenever a tankie (i.e. a fascist) calls me one despite me being a communist.
