What is tankie?
Those who support authoritative regime. I think it's the new commies. Tend to be used on those who are sympathetic to Russia and China.
No, I am a tankie but I don't support any authoritarian regime. I don't support America or the EU for example. I like Cuba. They have laws mandating queer rights, women's right, health care, strong democratic participation.
How do you identify as a tankie?
I only see the word used on other people, but never see some one use it on themselves
Around here it is pretty common. Easily. Most of the people who actually ever worked to improve society have been labeled tankies so it is a badge of honor.
