The fact that y'all think Tankies are a bigger problem than Nazis shows just how out of touch y'all are. Tankies aren't infiltrating the Democrat party, Tankies just want to LARP as revolutionaries online while never doing any real Praxis. All while White Supremacists and Nazis are actively pushing the great replacement theory and other bigotry with great effect in the Republican Party. Blahaj zone 196 is the worst 196 for this reason. Talk about missing the mark. . .
Sure, nazis are a bigger problem than tankies, but no one here needs to be told to look out for nazis. That's kinda self explanatory.
But tankies are a lot less well known, but still have a very destructive ideology. Just look at the comments here — there are multiple people who asked what tankies even are.
Saying "Kick nazis out of 196" would be redundant, which can't be said for "Kick tankies out of 196".
The only issue is that I'll see perfectly logical socialist, communist or anarchist arguments get attacked as "tankie" and I worry that all this hullabaloo is just rightists trying to set back leftist ideology by painting it all as tankie ideology.
I can attest to this. I've been called a tankie (on this subreddit, too) for politely asking someone not to call people the R-word.
