The discourse around this is frankly unhinged (i.ibb.co)

Even if you disagree with them, Trotskyists are not tankies, simple Marxists aren't tankies, leftists curious and exploring different theories aren't tankies, and ffs anarchists like myself are not tankies.

I feel like "tankie" indicated a very specific worldview at one time, but it's been used lately a lot to mean things like "doesn't agree with nations supporting oppression and inequity up to and including genocide" -- which is drastically at odds with how I've seen the term used in the past, no?

I actually got banned from a comm on here just yesterday for pointing out that one of the people who was posting a load of things saying "FUCK TANKIES" had repeatedly admitted that they were a fascist and shouldn't be trusted. Like I'm a trot, I have no love for stalinists obviously but I think it should be pretty obvious to people at this point that the people constantly yelling about tankies are just using it as an excuse to amputate the entire far left out of political discussions.
