Dunking on Tankies from a leftist perspective.

A tankie is someone who defends/supports authoritarian or even totalitarian regimes who call themselves "socialist". The term originated from people supporting the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union. Nowadays they are just terminally online, denying genocides, and falling for totalitarian propaganda and calling such regimes "true democracies". remember to censor usernames when necessary.

Firstly, we'll save a lot more money than that by auditing the DoD like Katie Porter and Jon Stewart keep advocating for. I would much rather take my portion of a DoD audit on my next tax return.

Secondly, would you like your next tax return to include shares in a Patriot missile system? Because I don't know about you, but I don't actually have any use for soon-to-be decommissioned weapons.

Were you planning on overthrowing the bourgeoisie with your share of those missile systems?
