when i first heard the term a few years ago online i tried to work out what it meant and ended up thinking it was a tumblr term for fans of world of tanks. sadly the reality was even more stupid than that

whoever brought it back into currency in the 21st century cyber world definitely deserves a pay raise at whatever nazi intelligence agency they work for



i first came across it in this hilariously bad thing and its even worse follow-ups

It seems to originally have been a British slang for members of the CPGB which was one of the most open supporters of the 1956 tank usage way back when

I love how some people are upholding the "tankie" as an empty signifier for any anti-revisionist ever while some people are trying to connect the term to some specific set of thoughts like sam marxy aka "brezhnevism", anti-imperialism or whatever. like fuhgedaboudid

lol here it is

please keep in mind that when most of us talk about tankies we are referring to the group of people who obsessively call themselves that, aka, tank club, or rhizzone lite: mal, prop d, yugiohmishima, vpartyintheusa, laredaction, ultraleftist, drdogballs, etc. They’re all transphobic dinguses and weird catholic fetishists who really don’t get communism at all.

the claim that tankies are transphobic is weird to me considering how many "tankie" comrades are trans

also wow the baffler is getting really bad. one of their podcast episodes entitled "techies and tankies" https://soundcloud.com/user-253233419/news-from-nowhereepisode-12-tankies-and-techies

"My problem with tankies is I don't think the whole world can just simply be understood through the filter of reacting against US misdeeds. Period. Watching that tendency kind of explode in certain segments of the Left is really fucked up. I think the best we can do is look for and try to practice some form of international solidarity. Right? ... Even in like Syria, why would your eyes not be on Kurdish socialists instead of like Assadist neo-fascists."

hmm, lets see if "the rihizzone" has managed to work out what tanqui means

page 1: i dont even know what that means
page 2: anime, dr dogballs and ""ironic"" dating sims

no that's called whale vomit. i've been listening through it, and in one of the episodes - not sure which - amber did say something condescending about "tankies" and deadken just sort of chuckled and then moved on to something else, if i recall correctly. idk, i remember thinking it was weird.

imo most of the contemporary anarchist problem with organizing solves itself. their recent heyday was during a period of time when "socialist" was a swear word in the West and those among anarchists interested in doing anything productive tend to be in the process of trading up in politics atm
