In that "tankie" is just a pejorative for a communist, yes. I'm a Marxist-Leninist, and I uphold AES as legitimate.

Workers of the world, unite! ☭

I'm a liberal. I know the power that democracy bestows: vote.

Fighting fascism? Vote hard.

Fighting genocide? Vote harder.

Fighting cancer? You guessed it, just vote.

Vote solves everything, vote is beautiful.

I'm a moderate and believe in supporting the lesser of two evils, which means critical support for enemies of US imperialism. I'm also something of a centrist because I believe anarchists and Marxist-Leninists and other left tendencies all have good ideas.

So yeah, I'm a moderate centrist.

No. I do absolutely support Khrushchev sending tanks to Hungary (very rare Khrushchev W), but i'm not British.

I'm an anarchist though I do get called a tankie quite a lot as a pejorative.

I'm opposed to all states. That said as someone who lives in the west I don't really care to spend a lot of energy being mad about what my governments state enemies are doing.

'democracy' in capitalist states is a cruel facsimile of actual democracy. If you don't have money for rent you might as well be unpersoned, corporations are people and money is free speech.

Yes but do note that most people who call themselves a Tankie do it ironically to make fun of those who do not know its meaning if it even has one nowadays, It's commonly used by liberals and even leftists to simply refer to anyone to the left of their own politics, although not sure why I'm answering this since my instance and profile is practically wearing a red beret.

I am in a superposition of being a tankie and not being a tankie at the same time.

Tankies consider me a lib because I dislike DPRK.

Libs consider me a tankie because I dislike "the west".

Oh well

No, I'm a tankie's worst nightmare: The arctankie also known as the tan^-1^kie.

Tankie is when a third worlder socialist shares the most Milquetoast leftist opinion.

Yes

"Tankies" don't exist.

People who unironically use the word "tankie" would say it's someone who uncritically supports communist governments, but if you ever look at someone using it, it's always because they are uncritically against all communist governments and so they interpret nuance or historical understanding as blind loyalty to communism.

Yes

Yes.

That answer is only for my own country America, I do not have strong opinions for other areas and countries.

And I realize the term is broad, and gives connotations I do not intend.

A socialist movement that is backed by force, and not using democratic methods, would save far more lives than it would destroy.

Americans do not understand democracy because they do not understand, at a fundamental level, that ballot counts need to be witnessed and recounts always allowed.

They cannot be taught that. This removes reform by democracy.

But when reform is imposed on by force there are many who would disagree . So the revolution would need to defend itself. That means time and time again, this would happen repeatedly. And the cost would be horrible.

Of course my preferred solution would raise new problems, and a rise of a new elite would have to countered, and history shows that is hard. But I think because tens of millions of Americans will die if this revolution not happen, then it’s worth it

I'm still in doubt of what a tankie is, even though I've now seen it mentioned 1000 times. Also why is it called that?
