      American conservatives generally call anybody left of Joe Manchin, “communists”.

      Of course, there are real communists too, and some of them are militant, and that’s what people generally are referring to when they say “tankie”.

        Judging people by their preference in economic systems is about as dumb as blind nationalism. I don’t think I’ll ever understand this level of ignorance.
