    Hakim is incredible!! Without a real firm definition of what Breadtube actually consists of, I generally presume that it excludes tankies (Bread being derived from Conquest of Bread, and anarchists generally being anti-ML).

      True, I just assumed they'd all fall under the same label because left youtube is pretty niche. Though I didn't know Hakim was ML (as opposed to just an L).

      Somewhat off-topic but are MLs necessarily tankies? I thought it was used by MLs to refer to other MLs who uncritically support perceived ML regimes.

        The term Tankie was levied against the Communist Party of Great Britain who supported Khrushchev's response to the Hungarian Uprising of 1956. Of course, this was an anti-communist slur, so it didn't really matter if you were for or against the use of tanks in putting down this uprising. Because it's a slur, all you needed to be, to be a tankie, was be a communist. So yeah, all ML's are ipso-facto "tankies". In recent time, it's sort of become reclaimed by Marxist Leninists.
