I wonder why extremists hate liberals so much. They all talk of liberals with such disdain.

It's pretty interesting reading a bunch of people at completely different stages of their political journey argue against each other. Their one commonality is mostly completely making up what we believe in and not liking China and the USSR.

Tankies just means whatever they currently arent. Its not about us but about what they are not.

Just like orientalism isnt about the people of the orient, but about what the west wants itself not to be.

Ask ten anti-communists what a tankie is, and you'll get at least twelve different answers lol

Exactly! There are those that fully support bog-standard liberalism side by side with people who have moved beyond that, but only just. It's one of those cases where they are often both wrong, or one is right for the wrong reasons, etc.
