     We find tankies tend to use pejorative terms to describe other ideologies in a toxic manner. E.g., anarkiddies, anarchildren, and anarkids instead of anarchists, succdems, succ dems, and succs instead of socdems, and westoids and libshits when referring to liberals. We also find "ultras" & "tankies" and "radlibs" & "tankies" pairs.
