the irony of having "tankies dni" next to the antifa logo when the antifascist action was started as a campaign by the KPD (communist party of germany) in 1932
I seriously dont understand people's definitions of tankie? Originally it was meant to be a slur for people who supported the use of tanks against the population i.e. in the GDR in 1953 (which is obv. completely indefensible)? But then people also use it to mean "communist" in general? anyone who sympathizes with the USSR or Cuba or China or something? A Stalinist or Maoist? a Leninist? are Trotskyists and Luxemburgists tankies? I don't understand where people draw their line lmao
