should not the title be italicized, since the page is about a word. Other pages about words (see:You, Faggot (slang), I (pronoun), etc.) have their titles in italics, so shouldn't that be the case here as well?

Shouldn't the title be italicized

should not the title be italicized, since the page is about a word. Other pages about words (see:You, Faggot (slang), I (pronoun), etc.) have their titles in italics, so shouldn't that be the case here as well?

Expanding the term's usage

"Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes or their allies" should perhaps include the denial of atrocities, repressions and other such things by tankies. Some English Monarch IV (talk) 13:36, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

Left communists are not "anti-authoritarian"

They're listed under anti-auth communists who use the term tankie. Arguably only council communists among them can be broadly categorized as such. Covertschreb (talk) 10:37, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
