To be honest we don’t have a real name for them. They say they support the tenets of national socialism, deride capitalism, engage in liberalism, and hate the working class.
Call them what you will. Nazi, neo-nazi, neo-neo-nazi, neo-bolshevik, I don’t know. In any case it’s all different flavours of fascism.
“Tankies” that’s the word for Nazis with a Russian coat of paint.
Edit: Lmao the downvotes. I just gave an objective description of the term OP is looking for. I’m a hardcore socialist myself and if you feel like the term “Tankie” is insulting you, then MAYBE you have an issue.
I hesitate to call them tankies because they don’t follow the same ideals. These people deride ‘the libs’ but engage in liberalism, calling themselves lgbtq friendly, then they call themselves communist but engage in materialism, they call themselves socialist but agree with authoritarianism.
I don’t know what to call them besides fascist, but fascist is so non-specific when dealing with these groups that it doesn’t help for identification. We actually need a new name for this group of fascists.
Tankie originally meant people who supported the Soviet Union’s military action in Hungary and Czechoslovakia in the 50s and 60s

They’re CCP or maybe Kremlin operatives organizing shills, LLMs, and useful idiots to spread propaganda.
That’s why it’s hard to say what they are. They aren’t actually socialists, they’re happy to support both extremes in order to increase division in their group opponents.

Tankies don’t have ideals, they’re just red fascists. It’s all an aesthetic.
Fascists gonna fasc.

Won’t see any disagreement there, but those useful idiots still cling to the ideology.
Ignorance and cognitive dissonance, name a more iconic duo.
I’ve never seen a grad say they support the tenets of national socialism or that they hate the working class. Can you show me?
No, they’ve been defederated.
