A tankie is literally someone who believes in authoritarian communism

How could you achieve communism or socialism without authoritarianism? Do you believe in revolution? Is a revolution not the most authoritarian process imaginable, the forced imposition of a new reality by one class unto another?

Seeing "literally" used this way, not as a descriptor but as a seasoning on vibes-based panic, always tickles me

Same way the Neozapatistas have done? By actually showing your system is better, and letting people join your movement. And allow them to leave, if they desire.
