    My favorite incorrect definition for tankies is, they dont actually like communism, they just like tanks.

    They like “dictatorships of the proletariat,” and if they think that is given to them by Daddy Big Boots, then theyll simp for him hard as they can.

    Absolutely loving the pushback against their shit here on .world, it was getting bleak there for a minute…

      Yeah. Tankies in most places are absolutely inconsequential, but they’re very prominent on the Fediverse. It’s good to push back against the poisonous parts of their ideology (like ‘Imperialism is good if it’s a capitalist state that’s not part of the West doing it’).

      Would hate to see that kind of vile fascist shit normalized on here.
