I am to the left of Ronald Reagan. A lot of people would classify that as tankie.
But that’s not a no.
I’ll take that as a yes for you. If you are a Tankie you should stand up for your values and be proud!
The only reason why you would deny it or hide it is if you have an agenda.
Tankie is a floating signifier, a pejorative, a thought-terminating cliché, a rhetorical cudgel.
The only reason why you would deny it or hide it is if you have an agenda.
Or because it’s a thought-terminating pejorative. And in any case, just as it is impossible to be unbiased, it is impossible to be agendaless. By implying that I have some secret agenda, you’re doubling down on McCarthyism.
If that’s how you feel about it, then it may be a cudgel against you. But I am certain you do see and have seen people who proudly self label as tankies.
Nothing wrong with that.
