I know that one. What's a "tankie"
A faschist with a red flag.
The term origenaly referred to lefties that supported the Soviet Union rolling tanks into nations protesting for democracy.
Modern tankies defend historical "communist" states and their successer states like Russia. They can often be seen glorifying dictators and denying genocides.
Well described, actually. And most of the tankies can be fought with actual knowledge of Marxism and socialism, since they try to pass themselves as all-so-knowledgeable of them and then spew the worst kind of misunderstandings of the socialist theories. Pseudo-intellectual edgy teenage-minded dumb-dumbs, in a nutshell
I discovered you can score extra points where you deconstruct their argument to the point where they'll call you a "debate pervert" and ragequit the fediverse
Thing is, they'll have so much unread communist literature around their home they're bound to come back. Much easier to jump back into the bearbubble than read those big, big books

I love getting fashsplained that I would surely understand Lenin's points more clearly if I only read more Chomsky.

Well put. They're another online cult where you just have to scratch your head and wonder how the hell they came to certain conclusions.

Authoritarian leftists. Stalinists, basically. The kind of people who look at protests being crushed by tanks and say "Good, those reactionary civilian pigs deserved it!"

Another thing they share in common: gaslighting queer people into forgetting their history.

What is a TERF and what is a Tankie?
Terf: trans exclusionary radical feminist (self explanatory)
Tankie: left wing extremists and authoritarian apologists

I see way more posts complaining about these groups than content from the groups themselves.
Lemmy.world defederated from hexbear which is filled with tankies. That is why you do not really see them.

How can TERF even exist ?!
They very genuinely hate men and thus can't understand why anyone would "want" to be one, nor do they accept anyone who "once was a man." Once you see shit like "political lesbianism" thrown around, you understand that there's just no hope.
It's like a horseshoe from TERF to toxic masculinity, as both groups are terrified of seeing beauty in men (and all people) and have a very narrow definition of what a man can be.
