      funnily enough most people don’t even know what a tankie is lol

      Outside niche online communities and the hordes of tweets, Tankies hold no political relevance. Ironically, the only thing holding up communism’s relevance are boomers fearing the Red Scare from their childhood. Nowadays though, socialism is becoming a liberal idea. Again, ironic for the poor tankie.

        Well, they know what it is they just don’t know the word. The issue is more they don’t know about other types of leftists/communists so they just call them that.
