"Tankie" is when you don't vote for a candidate who supports genocide.

The state of the online "tankie" discourse has never been worse.

They has a hammer and sickle in their username, a symbol most socialists have abandoned because of tankies.

socialists have not abandoned the most universally recognized leftist symbol lmao

I personally prefer the socialist rose over the hammer and sickle and the red star, however. Those sorts of symbols, to me at least, evoke the very agrarian-centric revolutions we associate with communism/socialism that came with the side effect of purging intellectuals (as in the USSR, DPRK, PRC, DK/Cambodia etc).
