        Hey, I wanted to have a good faith discussion here, but I'm afraid you may be too terminally online to engage with leftists who disagree with you in good faith. Peace anarchild.

        We find tankies tend to use pejorative terms to describe other ideologies in a toxic manner. E.g., anarkiddies, anarchildren, and anarkids instead of anarchists, succdems, succ dems, and succs instead of socdems, and westoids and libshits when referring to liberals. We also find "ultras" & "tankies" and "radlibs" & "tankies" pairs.]
