    Tankie usually refers to Marxism-Leninism (as well the ideologies that derived from it such as Maoism). But there are communist ideologies that don’t derive from ML such as Orthodox Marxism, trotskyism, libertarian Marxism, bulshevism, etc.

      no it usually refers to whatever the fuck the person posting it seems to think it is, there is not a coherent label for it.

      Orthodox Marxism, trotskyism, libertarian Marxism, bulshevism, etc.

      Oh cool, which societies use those?

        Why are you letting libs define everything? You and I both know they’re dumbasses and shouldn’t be taken seriously.

        Anyone could have said the same to Marx about communism at any point in his life, as he died before the October revolution.
