"That's not what tankie means!"
It's the way that term is now used. I've got nothing to do with Stalinism; I'm not even a Marxist. My opposition to imperialist agendas against Russia and China have nothing to do with communism whatsoever. Yet I get called a tankie every day.

My point of course is that the term "tankie" has been converted into an imperialist propaganda weapon which is used on all critics of western imperialism. https://caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/tankie-conspiracy-theorist-and-other
People are being actively trained to use "tankie" as a pejorative to protect imperialist narratives by MSM narrative managers.
And this propaganda tool emerges just in time for the US empire's new cold war escalations against Russia and China, naturally. https://twitter.com/caitoz/status/1391178345946050562?s=20
