      Right on the sidebar.

      But tankies are basically Stalinists who call themselves Communists or Marxists. Their type of content is widely documented across this community.

          It’s alright! Feel free to look around the community, be warned though, it’s quite unsettling.

      Authoritarian Communists / Stalinists. Named so because they still supported the USSR even in things like sending in tanks to Hungary and Czech Republic to crush rebelliomns there in the 50s and 60s.
