The fact they feel the phrase fuck tankies is acting as a barrier to their participation in 196 should be a wake up call for them to examine their political views.
Unlike their use of the word liberal, which they use to refer to everyone to the right of them on the political spectrum, we are using the word tankie for a single specific group. Tankie means authoritarian communist. Please keep the sign.
- I have been called a tankie for supporting Cuba, I have been called a tankie for saying the fall of Rhodesia was a good thing, I have been called a tankie for saying landlord isn't a legitimate profession, I have been called a tankie for saying Elon Musk doesn't deserve his wealth. "Tankie" is just "woke", but for centre left soc-dems
  
  woke = (-∞, center]
  tankie = (-∞, progressive liberal)
  
  I agree with all of these takes. You're still a tankie though.
  
  Maybe do some introspection?

  Yes, for everybody to the left of you.
- i"m not an anticommunist, i just hate and denounce like 95% of communists and communist parties worldwide rn and historicaly (they are and were some variation of leninist)
  Yeah you are against a very specific group, communists, no need to hide it
- There is no one to the right of authoritarians who want to silence dissent and use violence to right the inequalities in society.
