    Call somebody tankie is against the comunity rules:

    RULES:

    1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

    2 No Trolling

    3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

    4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or ‘wasted votes on 3rd party’ is lessor evil rhetoric.

    5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

    6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, ‘paid by Putin,’ Tankie, etc.

      They didn’t call anyone tankie - they referenced the type of people falling under that classification. Big difference from making an accusation.

        May be, but “…what the fuck is wrong with tankies” clearly is not being civil in a socialist space (also rule 6).
