Now watch all the tankies praise him as a honorary socialist

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 guys are easy to spot these days.

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.

Can you show an example of people calling Mamdani supporters tankies please?

Sorry, I don’t save links to random stupid internet comments
