^^ This guy is a tankie. The fact he's using the term Trotskyists unironically proves this. Literally no one else except tankies does this.

LMAOOO WHAT?? I'm just using the term they use for themselves.

I ran into a group of Trotskyists once and it turned out they were absurdly boring and wanted me to grab coffee with them for weeks on end before they'd tell me anything, and they apparently read a metric fuckton of theory. So now I know the word Trotskyist. But I guess that makes me a tankie ๐Ÿคท

you use a real word

correctly use the historically/globally understood meanings of words

"mm no that's made up tankie nonesense"

This is at least the fourth time I've seen lemmitors do this. Righteously indignant about not knowing things.
