Tankie |
A tankie is originally a British communist, a jingoist, who believed in the Kremlin line and agreed with sending Soviet tanks to Hungary in 1956 and Czechoslovakia in 1968. Hence, “tankie”. In the 2000s, tankie became internet slang and a political slur for - often Western - communists and supporters of militaristic anti-capitalist extreme Left. See also the so-called horseshoe theory. |
