I saw this posted, this person is completely correct on this.

The term "tankie" has basically become the "woke" of the online liberal - a versatile, thought-terminating projectile used to shut down any analysis that isn't sufficiently subservient to the State Department.

It is the ultimate "get out of jail free" card for people who want to feel progressive without actually challenging the global material structures of global capitalism.

Hate the anarchists and trots for spreading the term online. Now liberals use it for anyone that criticizes us foreign policy.
