  Even if you're a die-hard capitalist, you shouldn't use "tankie" as a broad label for anti-capitalists. Diluting it as a term just helps the actual tankies (authoritarian communists).

  I’m an anarchist who despises authoritairian tankies.

  This is just critical theory, and meta science. Both of which are legitimate fields.

      The tankies don’t seem particularly picky about whether their contrarian cause celebres are actually socialist or just a dickhead dictator and his rich mates.
