Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.

Yes but you apply it freely to anyone who is left of liberal… not my or the wiki definition.

I apply it where it's justified, Yogthos is infamous for it, along with davel and head honcho themself dessalines

.ml is labeled a tankie instance because dessalines and davel are admins who censor any non-tankie dissent/speech
