    Tankie either refers to anyone to the left of Trump, or very specifically the LaRouche movement, depending on what’s most convenient.

      No it doesn’t, I’ve only heard radlibs use it and it was against any supporters of AES. Originally it was used for people in Britain who supported Khrushchev’s intervention in Hungary, but since has been expanded on the internet.

          That’s the anti-Stalin paradigm at work. Everything you’ve been told was bad about the USSR was down to Stalin.

          Lol. It would make sense for the term to be more mainstream in the UK considering it’s from there. Basically, they are trying to associate Corbyn with people like us who would have supported the Soviet intervention, which is a stretch.
