      Sure. There are plenty of people who are anarchists, who are people I would not work with. Like armchair anarchists.

      And the word “tankie” does get used by armchair anarchists A lot often inappropriatly.

      But still tankie is a valid crique of Red fascism.

      And if you are a person who believes In communism, and can see it’s benefits but are unable to see it’s faults your probably a tankie.

      Please remember on multiple instances The Soviets turned their back on anarchists. Like in the Spanish civil war.

        Have we been reading the same thread? The anticommunists here don’t care about your nuance or your support for AES states other than the USSR, they will call you a tankie if you speak in defense of any of those other projects.

        Incidentally I don’t think the Spanish Civil War proves that the USSR was “fascist”, even if the USSR’s actions are worthy of criticism.
