- KennyBlanken 4y agoThe person you're replying to was speaking informally. Informally, they're correct: tankies are a tiny minority. That's not even accounting for the fact that many of them are trolls, teenagers who bumbled across some old manifestos and think they're the most amazing thing ever, Russian/Chinese trying to shit-stir, or conservatives false-flagging to have a boogieman to point a finger at. Tankies are not part of any important political dialog or decision-making. They are irrelevant.
