    Here is another way in which liberals will disappoint you with their lack of political education. There’s liberals, conservatives and tankies, and no other options I guess.

    Tell me, can you provide me with your definition of the word “tankie”? Because they are a specific thing that represents a fringe pariah of the radical left.

        Yeah but… I mean nominally they claim to be leftist. Honestly I think a lot of them are ideologically on the side of workers but they’re misguided. I don’t think you could claim the same thing for actual fascists, which is why I don’t like the term “red fash”. There are red fash, but they’re actual nazbols, not just people who have fallen victim to revisionism.
