I’ve run across these terms several times, but without enough context to figure out what they mean. Could someone help me out, please?
ETA All of you are amazing! A huge thank you to everyone who responded, and an extra thank you to those who have provided links or explanations to further and/or related information. I am learning so much by reading all of these comments!
Tankies are the left’s version of internet nazis on the right.
Ultimately they aren’t a serious threat to anyone, even if their views are harmful and misguided.
Being a Tankie is when you go so far left you end up coming back right and supporting Fascism still.
True communism never existed, supporting anything the Soviet Union did is fascist.
