Is this code for "people who aren't voting for Joe Biden"?
that would be people who are essentially voting for trump, so yeah, why not.
Tankie is the pro-authoritarian left. The Stalinists essentially. The ones who think it's appropriate to send in the tanks to quell a socialist or communist uprising because it has a tint of democracy in it, which may cause their strong leader to lose dictatorial power.
It depends on whether you consider PRC and Stalin "left." There are plenty of their supporters out on the internet.
It's code for "antifascist" "leftists" who are urging people to do the exact same things that the Republican party wants them to do.
Specifically, which things?
If you're upset about being called a tankie, you could cross-reference what you are urging people to do with what the Republican party wants people to do. And then stop that.
In general I would recommend being antifascist in a way that isn't the exact same actions as overt fascism with the only difference being the rhetoric justifying the actions.
What am I urging people to do?
Fuck if I know. You're whining about being called a tankie. I can explain why that happens in general. You'll have to figure the rest out on your own. Maybe if you do some reading and educate yourself you can get there.
