I know for a lot of people a tankie is just something that they know it when they see it, however I think that it is important to think about the reason that you define something as being tankie vs just a leftist.

Is the distinction being drawn between Marxist and Marxist-Leninist, or is "radical Marxism" referring to radicalism as in Jeremy Bentham? Or is there some third thing going on?

I decided not to delve into the topic because I can only stomach so much bigotry.
