Talk:Tankie

This version of the page is more elaborate and contains many (inconvenient) truths. Why not take time to read it? Mudsharkmarie (talk) 05:45, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Just because tankies are right about some things does not mean that Stalinism is a feasible ideology. Furthermore, your article is poorly sourced. But then again, this is just going to devolve into a debate about the reliability of "Western" sources, so I'm just going to pass the mic off to someone whose timezone is not currently night.

 * Mudsharkmarie's definition of tankie was objectively incorrect. This was the first sentence: Tankie is a snarl word used by liberals and their pseudo-left fellow travelers for Marxists who unapologetically defend socialist and anti-imperialist regimes against CIA-backed counterrevolution. The origin of the term "tankie" was someone who continued to support the Soviet Union after by sending tanks into the country. It would be more accurate to say that tankies unapologetically defend imperialist regimes that call themselves anti-imperialist. CowHouse (talk) 06:32, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, it is night in my timezone now. But that's beside the point.
 * Of course, we don't need a page about the word "tankie" that's separate from the Stalin apologists page. And we certainly don't need an unreferenced rant that basically says that Stalin was right. Spud (talk) 10:22, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
