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

I agree with all of these takes. You're still a tankie though.

Maybe do some introspection?

woke = (-∞, center]

tankie = (-∞, progressive liberal)
