When tankies disappoint you, however, complaining about it will get you a one way ticket to the gulag.

Nah. Tankies are imperialist scum, just like liberals.

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.

Tankies aren't leftists, and literally all of Hexbear is full of them. .ml too at this point.

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.
