Saw a comrade post this as a response in the Mousolini dunk thread, that become a dunk thread on an annoying lib calling us tankies lol.
Thought this was really insightful, and from a different angle than what i usually see as the rascist connotations of "tankie" and of western left anti-communism, and thought it deserved its own thread. Particularly, since the influx of western anti-cummunist takes we've been dealing with recently.
Tankie doesn't actually mean anything, the term has lost all meaning. Anyone who doesn't think that NATO is good, or should wage war on Russia or China is a tankie. Even non-socialist pro-peace people are accused of being tankies
