What was your First encounter with a tankie?
Mine happened when i first made a reddit account, i got banned from a subreddit with a tankie moderator because i questioned the logic of having lenin as the subreddits profile, for a subreddit devoted to anti conservative memes.

Sorry but what’s a tankie?
Check out the community info, because that's how I found out.
It's somebody that defends authoritarian governments because of their support of socialism.
an ML, soviet apologist, or generally an authoritarian leftist.
Specifically authoritarian ones. it's a term used by communists/leftists for other communists mostly.
Yeah, some people do get confused due to the fact that some capitalists have co-opted the term for their own use.
Some tankies also claim that it applies to all communists, mostly as a smoke screen for their authoritarianism.
thats a propaganda line only spouted from the mouths of those engulfed in tankie misinformation.
