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?

    tbh i don’t think lemmy is big and relevant enough to have targeted astroturfing campaigns like this.

    a bad actor could be watching, but i doubt it would be worth it to run interference just yet.
