Not really. MLs are the ones who often get called “tankie”. We say it ironically sometimes, but not seriously.

It’s not an ironic reclamation? Why are there so many pro-MLish subs that are “moretankie X” as if to signify that said subreddit will be a communist version of a generic sub. I think we’re mostly saying the same thing, but I appreciate your clarification. MLs are MLs and ironically use the term “tankie” to take the wind out of the reactionary sails, as it were (is that fair?). That’s kind of how I’ve seen the term spread.
