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.
Supporting capitalism is not equivalent to supporting the US. China and Russia are capitalist countries, and plenty of tankies will defend them tooth and nail, for example here or on Hexbear. They even claim Russia is defending Ukraine against US imperialism.
Just go to any community on Hexbear, type a comment saying Russia is not communist, and enjoy your ban.

Most politically literate tankie.
Tankies aren’t communists. They simp for capitalist dictatorships.
Funny, because that’s how I feel about “liberal” whenever a tankie (i.e. a fascist) calls me one despite me being a communist.
You? A communist? Name all AES.
AES-128, AES-192, AES-256
give (1) example of a country existing today that meets your defintiion of communism
None. Communism is no private property, no money, no classes, maybe no state.
You still haven’t given an example of wtf you’re talking about.
Who the fuck are these mysterious (assumedly) pro-Stalin, pro-USSR, etc. “tankies” who ALSO are pro-USA/pro-capitalism?
Just give a name! Find a person in history or today and type their name into your text box and hit send. Is this asking a lot?
