    Bro, I’m not a tankie, I explicitly said the twitter post is a troll because there’s basically nobody defending all those things. Tankie is just a word that used to be used to refer to hardcore Stalinists, but now it’s degenerated and people use it to refer to Russian nationalists or, worse, anything left of being a lib.

    What country do you live in, if I may ask, where communists have decent representation?

      Tankie is just ‘woke’ but used by libs to punch left and justify being toxic at this point. I primarily organize with anarchists and yet online I get called a tankie.
