No. I'm a non-tendency leftist. But I disagree with tankies being labelled as "fascists". They're not. They're just Marxist-Leninists/Stalinists and I find their views pretty consistent with orthodox ML-ism.
I agree with this. I see a lot of people erroneously label tankies "fascist," but fascism is an entirely distinct ideology with different end goals.
I also wouldn't call myself a tankie, although I've received some nasty DMs calling me one, which is somewhat humorous to me since I identify most with anarchism. I feel like some people think a tankie is defined as "anyone to the left of Ronald Reagan."
