tove tusselagoI suspect we're gonna have to be a little careful when terms like "tankie" is being thrown around.. Like, is it a genuine (non-anti-communist propaganda) critique, or is it being used as a tool to keep the left divided, to keep the infighting going 🤷 (whether it's used for this purpose knowingly or not)
Miss Rari 🏳️⚧️@vae From what I've seen/heard, it's both used by anarchists against the authoritarians, and sometimes by fully-aligned (neo)liberals to push against the left in general (fully-aligned is important since someone can be essentially socialist but call themselves "liberal" due to a lack of language they are aware of). I haven't seen as much of the second one but am aware it exists.
