  “Tankie” is just a derogatory term for anyone to the left of the person saying it

  ---

  anarchists will use it for almost literally anyone

  Great logic. Almost as if you’re speaking shite, unless anarchists are on the right now…

    No, I’m just accusing them of throwing around words that mean nothing

      Kinda like how tankies think everyone is a fascist (except for other tankies, of course)?

    Can’t, because it didn’t happen.

      You should probably start doing that if you’re going to use them as core components of your online arguments.

  I mean, yeah? Like the most basic understanding of anarchy is that hierarchy is a bad thing, so it applies to a lot of political philosophies

  No one calls Mamdani a tankie, but I have seen tankies calling Mamdani a fascist. They clearly don’t know what fascism is.

  Centrists also don’t use the term “tankie.” If anything they call everyone on the left a socialist (as if it’s a bad thing) or a communist or a radical leftist.

  “Tankie” is specifically a word people on the left use to refer to auth-comms.

  “If they don’t lick bolshevik boots, they’re a fascist” -average tankie
