No.

I assume "tankie" is a roundabout way to lump revolutionary leftists with those fomenting red-brown alliances. That is, a "tankie" in the modern day is a way to describe someone as Strasserist, NazBol, LaRouchite, etc.

Not that I know of.

No I'm not. Unfortunately one of the problems with tankies is they don't call themselves that most of the time. But I can confidently claim I'm not because when a fellow leftist disagrees with me on 5% of something, I gently explain why I believe what I do, and then proceed to not be mad if the petty difference continues.

NO. We have had enough already

Nope, I'm for social democracy and think a healthy government is a balance between left and right. This balance has been lost lately.

I do believe that the discourse need some more leftism, however not of the stalinist (or Marxist-Leninist as people call it) kind.

NO

I'm pro-socialism and heavily regulated capitalism.

All that far left Marxist Communist crap is for people who like to pretend that it doesn't fail every single time.
