I see why people block y’all. No.

Oh no! Someone disagrees with you! Better reach for that block button! That’ll show them.

No one calls anarchists tankies

Yes they do. All the time. Ask me how I know.

Confabulate as much as you want.

It means what it means, and has meant since its inception.

You don’t seriously believe that the word tankie, in this day and age, is only used to refer to people who support Khrushchev sending tanks into Hungry half a century ago. So you’re just undeniably being willfully dishonest now. And for what? What is the point about lying about this?

People like you, probably. And you fucking know it.

I was not born for several decades when the Hungarian revolt occurred and have no real opinion on it, so no, I don’t “fucking know it”, I know you’re fucking wrong, and are trying to cover that up with impotent aggression.

Nobody in the year 2026 is using the word tankie in the context of the internal disagreement between British Trotskyists and Khrushchevists about the Hungarian uprising in the 1950s. Even you immediately - one sentence later - pivot to claiming it must means “authoritarian Stalinish stuff”, which is both incredibly vague and has nothing to do with the Hungarian revolution; a term that can be used for anyone to the left of the western Overton window.

So called “tankies” supposedly everywhere, but all I see are left-wing people.

Yes. Because “tankie” is just a pejorative for anyone to the left of the western Overton window
