I’ve been accused of being a tankie, and I think he’s great. But obviously the McCarthyites of Lemmy would rather create a straw man than listen to anything a red has to say.

If you're comparing shitting on tankies to McCarthyism, you might be a tankie.

Lots of people on the left hate tankies, because tankies are more fascist than leftist in praxis. McCarthyism basically accuses anyone with a remotely left-wing opinion as being as bad as a tankie, which is a strawman.

Tankies have more in common with McCarthyism than they're willing to admit. That's called horseshoe politics.
