      If you concede to "tankie" meaning anything at all, yes. Redditors will even call some anarchists "tankies", though. Depends on how it's moderated, I suppose.

      Regardless, he's right that it will be more effective if the vibe stays similar, and you at least cut away sectarianism when it's just devoid-of-fact arguing.
