Dunking on Tankies from a leftist perspective.

A tankie is someone who defends/supports authoritarian or even totalitarian regimes who call themselves "socialist". The term originated from people supporting the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union. Nowadays they are just terminally online, denying genocides, and falling for totalitarian propaganda and calling such regimes "true democracies". remember to censor usernames when necessary.

It's like they pull up ChatCCP at 11:38pm the night it's due and tell it to write them a 2000-word essay about "how the didactic materialism of imperial hegemony irrevocably leads to bourgeois exploitation of the Global South".
