    lol no it’s not. You can be a communist and not be a tankie. Tankies are hardly communists themselves.

    Tankies are authoritarians and defend authoritarianism. Do not use apologia.

      You genuinely have never heard it used in a pejorative way against any red? I never said all commies were tankies. I explained the words etymology and then its subsequent broad (mis)application in current online parlance. Hope you’re not reading theory with those comprehension skills, comrade.
