- Tankies - pushing reasonable people out of the Communist Party since 1950!
From the article: When Marguerite Duras Got Kicked Out of the Communist Party
This was part of their justification.
Technically speaking, it was probably happening sooner than 1950, since Trotsky arrived in Turkey in 1929.
- For some reason this 3yo lemmygrad post showed up in !all. Just tankies tanking.
The OP was clearly a communist from the post, but they had posted a document that included criticisms of the CCP. Tankie admins obviously could not emotionally handle the concept of CCP being anything but the good guys. Ironic they call every anti-dictator leftist "reactionary", when 'tis they who are the reactionaries.

- Today i encountered a Juche-ist.
I do not know how i should feel, he told me to join the "Korean friendship organization" a front for the North Korean government.
sometimes I wonder if some people lack brains...
- 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.
- Welcome to tankiejerk
Tankiejerk was originally a subreddit, but its head moderator said i could make an extension of the community on https://lemmy.world, so i did.
