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

correctly use the historically/globally understood meanings of words

"mm no that's made up tankie nonesense"
