I see this term used so often from the lofty reaches of some national news rag or echoing out of a Senate star chamber. The CEO is stamping it into an EULA, as an irrevocable term of service. The corporate union-buster is putting it up in 120 point font in a company wide mandatory power point presentation. The evangelical minister is denouncing it from the pulpit as part of a catechism call-and-response. The nosey neighbor is whispering it into the phone, hoping a SWAT team will remove someone from the block. The police holding you face down in a bucket of water are screaming it in your ears.
Beware the authoritarian communist. Beware the tankies. Beware the Chinese / Russian / Venezuelan social terrorists, fifth columnists, and outside agitators. Beware the college kid in the Che Guevera t-shirt. Beware the Anti-American. Whatever you think we might be doing to you now, they’ll be ten times worse.
Meaningless distinction. Whether it’s military or whatever. Whichever state supported group is shooting and beating and arresting protestors in China, they’re tankies.
You’re just salty because our superior ideology beat yours into dust (this applies if you’re an actual communist or just a right wing agitator pretending to be one).
Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleed…

It’s just a more politically correct way to say tankie.
I’ve never heard a cop called a Tankie.
But they’re always the ones in the large militant unions demanding more public money while driving around in actual tanks.
To be fair, Chinese cops would probably be tankies.
Few carry guns. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the Chinese police equivalent to the NYPD Police Tank that was used to raid the Columbia campus.

I’m more concerned with the police lashing out at protesters closer to home
Cool but that’s not what I was talking about.
FTFY
Nah, American Yeehawdists like their freedumb.
Similar but related bastardry.

Usually because it’s a fascist doing the scratching, so the liberal punches him
What an absolutely childish and moronic way or rewriting history. Typical lib.
That’s all Cryophillia does, lol. Attempt to rewrite definitions and history.
Also call out tankies and fash pretending to be tankies.
Hello!
Nah, you just call anyone left of Social Democrats “tankie,” lol.
Most of em are
It’s an infestation
Everything is scary when you’re scared of everything.
Punching Nazis into dust since 1941. Commies too.
