Tankie was coined by trotskyists to insult a slightly different kind of Leninist. Then anarchists picked it up and started calling trotskyists tankies. Now liberals call anarchists tankies. It's the circle of life, in a few years if you say tankie people will assume you're talking about Kamala Harris.
i thought tankie was universally accepted to just be a russia dick sucker but also commie. Why would this ever be applied to anarchists? That's so vastly different i couldn't see a world where that would even make sense.
This is true if you ignore what words mean
