Anonymous asked:

whats a "tankies".

flyin-shark answered:

Fascists with a red aesthetic. They’re authoritarian “leftists” that support and defend the Soviet Union, China, and other regimes despite their numerous human rights violations.

The term tankie comes from these regimes sending tanks to crush revolts. I’ve seen a lot of them supporting Russia in the Ukrainian Russian war.

As a point of clarification, tankie is more generally a (derogatory) term for authoritarian leftists, in reference - as shark correctly points out - to the habit that state socialist countries have of "sending in the tanks" to counter popular resistance to their regimes. (Classic examples include the suppression of the Prague Spring or the events at Tiananmen Square.*)

This is not the same as Red Fascists (such as the National Bolshevik group), who explicitly attempt to synergize Marxist or other socialist economic theories with fascism as a political ideology. Red fash are explicitly committed to fascist doctrines such as national palingenesis, ultranationalism, and white supremacy, and are often very willing to ally themselves with traditional capitalist fascist groups (e.g. the USian "patriotic socialists" allying themselves with the conservative liberal Trumpist and Christian Nationalist fascist movements). Tankies who are not Red Fash may reject all of these positions and even explicitly position themselves against traditional fascist groups, while still remaining authoritarian.

Not all tankies are Red Fash, although most Red Fash are tankies.

EDIT: *previous reblog correctly pointed out the term was originally created in response to the suppression of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. As I said, it's a recurring habit.
