      I mean…they didn’t call “leftist” unhinged, they specified a specific group.

      Hexbear does not equate to all leftist, and leftism does not equate to Hexbear.

        “Tankie” is just a pejorative for those that uphold socialist countries as legitimate, and oppose the US empire. Communists are not anywhere close to MAGA, and pretending they are is sophistry.

            It absolutely is, it’s the McCarthyian vision of a spooky scary communist that wants to gobble up all of the babies. It’s used against Marxists and anti-imperialists to terminate discussion.
