    What the fuck does the word Tankie even means? Nothing, just a word without meaning that Americans like to say because they think it will destroy any argument.

    Also, i fucking love when they mix up Che Guevara with Fidel Castro and Joseph Stalin. Like, if someone is a famous communist they must have been a evil head of state that commited genocide.

      The funniest thing about the word "tankie" to me, is that it refers to the best thing Krushev ever did in his life: send tanks into Hungary to protect them from a counter revolution

      Love that communists are called tankies for sending tanks into a fascist counter revolution like 70 years ago, but liberals aren't called tankies for sending tanks into several dozen countries just last year.

      Every liberal political opponent is guilty of genocide now. It's the first accusation they make.

      They even went there in the the Russia-Ukraine war. Nothing is beyond the scope of genocide, now. They've completely trashed the gravity of the word.

        It's especially infuriating since the Maidan regime was carrying out an actual genocide. The dronies are the actual genocide deniers.
