I am trying to get someone to explain what tankie means. People call me tankie from time to time, but I have no love for the iranian goverment.

A “tankie” is just anyone to the left of you

You can see from the question that poster asked that, whatever clear definition about authoritarianism or whatever you think it has, that’s just not how people are actually using it. Centrists will use it for Mamdani supporters, DSA-types will use it for Marxist-Leninists, and anarchists will use it for almost literally anyone.

“Tankie” is just a derogatory term for anyone to the left of the person saying it

anarchists will use it for almost literally anyone

Great logic. Almost as if you’re speaking shite, unless anarchists are on the right now…

Kinda like how tankies think everyone is a fascist (except for other tankies, of course)?
