It's the good old Red Scare but using the word "tankie" instead of "commie" and the people doing it now are just as devoid of ethics and hard right as the Macarthists were.

No, it's not. Tankies are their own thing, they're authoritarian communists. The fact you think they're regular communists has you spreading misinformation sympathetic to their cause.

I'm as socialist as they come and I will forever say fuck tankies.

"I'm as socialist as they come, that's why I reject all previous forms of socialism: because I believe myself to be more intelligent, literate in politics and economics, compassionate, and superior to those pesky socialists that dedicated their entire lives to socialism in the previous century".
