    I thought the whole point of the tankie pejorative in the past few years was to call actual communists muh redfash.

      The great thing about the word “tankie” is that it can mean anything you want.

      Your neighbour who mowes their lawn at seven every sunday morning? Tankie.

      That squirrel that keeps raiding your birdfeeder? Tankie.

      Your wife wants a divorce? She’s literally Stalin.
