    You are completely wrong. Tankies have never been that. It has always meant people who favour authoritarianism above all else. It means precisely the same as it always have, and yes tankies then and now would very much support Russia, because tankies have never cared about their own proclaimed ideology except for authoritarianism.

    Your comments reads like apologetics for the term “tankie”, as if you want it reserved for some kind of positive use, which is just completely bizarre, not to mention very suspect.

        Are you actually going to add any examples of hatred or bigotry from tankies and authoritarians or are you just going to complain about the mean words?
