I wear the label tankie with pride. I do indeed oppose the use of tanks in the vast majority of cases, so I am a tankie.

I addressed them each, directly.
And you are a tankie, because you are an authoritarian communist who wants to crush dissent with tanks or any other means.
But you can’t! It’s a tragedy.

Really? You addressed the argument that opposing war can be used to accuse the person of supporting the other side? The thing that you’re doing right now? Where? Apparently you even addressed it “directly!” I don’t see that anywhere. All I see is, “No, I use it to mean this” over and over.
It doesn’t matter what you call me or accuse me of. It’s based on nothing. How did you come to the conclusion that I’m an “authoritarian” who “wants to crush dissent with tanks or any other means?” Was is because I said we should build fewer tanks?

Yes, really!
I addressed your argument re “definition”, what the definition was, and what makes a definition.
It’s okay if you don’t see that, that means that you are suffering from some sort of cognitive dissonance. You can’t see it! It’s like it doesn’t exist!
No accusations have been made, it’s all here for anyone else to see (as long as they don’t share your cognitive dissonance, that is).
What you say or “believe” doesn’t matter, the definition of “tankie” remains “authoritarian communist”, not “peace-loving friends” or what have you. And tankies love tanks and communism and Stalin.
What you personally are or are not doesn’t matter, it’s irrelevant.

That’s not what I said at all. That’s just repeatedly asserting “this is how I use it” while completely ignoring my point.
What is? What have I said that demonstrates I fit your definition of “tankie?”
