Me listening to tankies describe communism as a moneyless, stateless, classless world, then criticise anarchism

What's a tankie? I know what it means but for others that don't go ahead and drop an egg of knowledge on them.

A supporter of the Soviet Union and its habit of using tanks to suppress uprisings.

The people have all the power, except when they disagree with their rulers... then its perfectly acceptable to kill and maim them
