Generally not. Anarchists and Marxists want separate goals and have separate means, but Liberalism is a separate ideology.

I'm aware, I've just never heard/seen a liberal use the word "tankie"- though I don't often expose myself to liberals... Are libs actually using that word now? I would literally laugh out loud at the hypocrisy if I witnessed that

Go to lemmy world. Any political comm. Or check in on reddit.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 18 points 3 days ago

Don't go to Reddit, even to prove a point. It's a very silly place.

I block every liberal with a shit take I come across (like 200 .world users so far lol) so that could explain why I haven't seen it much

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 days ago

I've seen many I definitely don't think are Anarchists use it, and I've even seen Anarchists and Liberals get labeled "tankies." It's a generic term used like BadEmpanada is referring to, a largely meaningless catch-all for Leftists.

That is whack; thanks for sharing

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 days ago

No problem. There are many on Lemmy.world for sure who use it that way, same with Reddit.
