I can’t really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by “both” sides of the spectrum. It’s just something I find interesting.

    Things that are mainstream in British politics would get you called a tankie by american liberals though, because they have no left and have no idea what level of radicalism is required to get welfare and healthcare in europe and then maintain it.

    If you think that, then I don’t think you understand the term Tankies. Tankies are apologists for the genocides and wrongdoings of Communist regimes.

    Just wanting welfare or healthcare doesn’t come anywhere near the level needed to be called a Tankie.

      So like defending Mao, the USSR and praising and recommending the Black Panthers, who met with government of north korea and defended juche thought then. Like, literally everything I just linked to above?
