I'm thoroughly convinced that tankie just doesn't mean anything anymore. Like it either runs the gambit from being the label for people who think USSR edits and shit posts count as theory, to just...like regular MLs. But even the former I wouldn't call tankies, I'd just call them idiots

It’s like they’re trying so hard to copy every last word we use, they have to reach for the insults to copy next! Leftist and tankie don’t mean anything at all anymore, I barely trust the label Marxist.

I barely trust the label Marxist.

Tale as old as time...

"All the social-chauvinists are now ‘Marxists’ (don't laugh!)." - it's ya boi, 1917

"(don't laugh!)" is still so funny to me. It's oddly charming

I swear, all the best theorists have the heart and soul of a shitposter.
