“Tankie” has gone from “supporter of Khrushchev sending in tanks to Hungary” to “any leftist who advocates for revolution and not socdem reforms”, and is quickly becoming equivalent to “fascist” in many circles

Real suspicious shit that this is encouraged by some of the biggest “leftist” personalities

(Yes this is a thinly veiled V****post)

    Yeah its useless to ignore him, as tiring as it can be hearing about him, but its important to always remind people that mention him in any positive light, that he is in fact trash.

    “any leftist who advocates for revolution and not socdem reforms”

    We can't even get reforms, the system made sure of that a long time ago, so what's left other than revolution? I hate the USA and bourgeoisie "freedom" but the founding fathers literally said the tree of liberty needs to be refreshed with the blood of tyrants from time to time. So in a galaxy brain move, revolution advocates are closer to the founding fathers breadtubers idolize than some dickhead landlord like Destiny saying we need to just :vote: harder.

      we could totally hijack some of cooler founding fathers. (also are there ANY goddamn founding mothers? probably not knowing this hellhole) Washington told everyone not to "entangle with foreign alliance" which you could twist into anti-imperialism. Yeah they were of course all racist slave owners but they all dead af.

          he's definitely the only good one. The rest you'd have to mutilate into someone less shit but since half of america loves blowing thomas jefferson it's something to consider

    any leftist who advocates for revolution

    Americans are not ready for such a thing as Vaush shows. These so called "communists" will make all manners of LARPing adventurist twitter posts, but will they ever form a revolutionary cadre to educate workers from class mystification?

    you exist within a tiny slice of reality, my friend.

    no one cares, they just want their ideas to rule.

    Even the original definition of "tankie" is bad. Hungary was going through a fascist counter-revolution and Khrushchev sent military aid to the socialist government. It wasn't an invasion or "red imperialism."

    This is why I call myself an "anarcho-tankie", even though I am not accurately either of these things.

        There's room for both of us in the modular open-source tank (retrofitted tractor) in a battalion that uses collective intelligence for its decision-making.

        I can be the loader and the bread-baker (because of course we make bread with the excess heat from the engine and armament), and you can be the driver because I hate driving

    I love seeing comments on poltical tiktoks that are "anti-tankie" like how 'tankies' support school shootings by virtue of not wanting complete gun control and how we want to oppress teens in high school through not supporting complete gun control. or how tankies are racist for saying revolution is important because that means only nonwhite people will die and then when you ask them about all the successful revolutions in majority nonwhite countries, they're just like "WELL!!! IDK!!!" its quite itneresting... also tankie really will just mean 'anyone who disagrees with me about anything' to these people

        they usually believe in something along the lines of police abolition (to a degree tho) so it's weird. like well that will only be achieved in a tankie-esque society......

    "Tankie" is starting to look like a verbal tick for some people.
