Anyone you see self identifying as a tankie is just fucking around because of how meaningless the term is. If you want to insult a Marxist try directly engaging with whatever it is they're saying that annoys you. You might even learn something along the way.
A tankie is anyone to the left of whoever is using the pejorative. Usually because they expressed a critique of imperialism or aren't sufficiently racist towards the Chinese.
Damn that's crazy that the country full of nazis and the fascist military industrial complex masquerading as a country arming them with billions of dollars worth of weapons would be the only two in the world to vote against the glorification of nazism. Totally wild. Oh and they vote against it every time, for years? Wow got to wonder what's up with that.
Buddy I'm not going to vote for a genocider. My grandparents were made to be refugees by the same entity bombing the same region supplied by the same American military industry with the same imperialist aims. I'm starting to think the genocidal imperialism isn't down to just one single president. Reading these kinds of posts from comfortable people who have never experienced what it's like to be on the receiving end of this shit drives me up the wall. You have no idea what you're talking about yet you can't just stay silent because of some irresistible urge to be smug on the internet.
