    Reminder to everyone that the hugely successful and wonderful original Black Panther Party were considered “authoritarian” and “violent” by the majority of whites back in the day. The Black Panthers were OG Tankies in every sense of the word, and they were incredibly good as a consequence. From Wikipedia:

    The Black Panther Party (originally the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense) was an American far-leftMarxist–Leninist and black power political organization founded by college students Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton in October 1966

    Regarding a visit of Huey P. Newton to China:

    During the trip, the Chinese arranged for him to meet and have dinner with an ambassador from North Korea, an ambassador from Tanzania, and delegations from both North Vietnam and the Provisional Revolutionary Government of South Vietnam.[44] Newton was under the impression he was going to meet Mao Zedong, chairman of the Chinese Communist Party, but instead had two meetings with Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai. One of these meetings also included Mao’s wife Jiang Qing. Newton described China as “a free and liberated territory with a socialist government”

    THESE are the people that we disregard and insult and call “tankies”!!
