Except that the problem I have with tankies is their tendency to wish death upon people, (or, at least, accept casualties as some kind of ideological necessity.)
I don't even wish death on Neo Nazis. I wish Life After Hate upon them. The organization, after all, has ripped people right from the bowels of Neo Nazi organizations. I'd like to see more of that.
I sure as hell don't wish death upon misguided idealists who think killing political rivals is somehow going to build a world free from authoritarianism. They don't need to die: they need to examine their beliefs.
