I don't even know what a tankie is
Tankies are communist state sympathizers.
They aren't just communists, they will actively defend China and the Soviet Union.
If you were to go to China and find a bunch of guys wearing MAGA hats, that would be their version of a Tankie
Got a follow up, possibly dumb question, Is "Tankie" a reference to that famous tiananmen square photo with the tank?
I assume so? I avoid tankies and I've never asked.
I say this as an extreme socialist, tankies are a problem.
