Stop recommending I follow fucking tankies

What are tankies? I’ve never seen or heard of that term before.

Stalinists, usually have weird politics and believe supporting Assad in Syria and the DPRK is somehow a good idea

Ah. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Yeah they’re called that because of the tanks the Soviet Union sent to crush a left wing uprising in Hungary in 1956, which caused major ideological splits in leftist groups world wide
