I think it's basically just a word applied ad hoc to whatever socialist someone doesn't like, usually MLs. I just sometimes see people respond to something like this by saying that it's misapplying the word as if there's such a thing as a "real tankie".
But obviously self-described tankies are a different story lol
You are joking but the only two major tendencies on this website are actual hardcore MLs and anarchists, and somehow they all get along. It’s kinda crazy
Tankie has never been a meaningful term. The fact that it's being used this way shouldn't be a surprise.

That sounds like a great comparison, actually.
Yeah but imagine if other leftists were calling you a pinko commie because you think castro was cool or something

Sure, but it gets used to mean Stalinist (despite Stalin dying in 1953) or pro-USSR/China/NK/VN/Cuba in general. Makes zero fucking sense.

You're on a strictly anarcho-tankie website. If you're not an anarcho-tankie your posting privileges get taken away
