Tankies exhibit higher toxicity than other far-left communities, especially in identity attacks and threats. They frequently use profane language, target political figures, and express hostility toward ethnic and religious groups, particularly Muslims and Jews.

Tankies' language diverges significantly from other far-left communities. They exhibit stronger alignment with CCP narratives, Stalinism, Russian perspectives on Ukraine, and anti-Zionism. They also favor state-sponsored media, use pejorative terms for other ideologies, and discuss U.S. politics with an anti-democratic tone.

Tankies prioritize discussions on state-level political events (e.g., Uyghur genocide, North Korea, Russian invasion of Ukraine) over social issues (e.g., police, climate change, healthcare). Using BERTopic and RTPR, we find that tankies diverge from broader far-left communities by emphasizing political conflicts and authoritarian socialist states rather than traditional leftist social concerns.

The study tracks user migration between tankies and other far-left communities on Reddit using MRD and MRS metrics. While the proportional inflow from established subreddits declines over time, tankies increasingly attract users—especially from r/communism and r/Marxism—solidifying their distinct and growing position within the far-left online spectrum.

To study left-wing extremism online, we identify tankie subreddits and analyze their connections within Reddit’s broader political landscape. Using network analysis and data from the Pushshift API, we collect and examine over 22 million posts from 47 ideological subreddits to map the digital presence of tankie communities.

This section explores the digital clustering of far-left communities, focusing on tankies. Using network analysis, we examine how ideological subreddits group together and how users migrate between them. Our findings show tankies as a distinct and rapidly growing faction within the far-left, with significant user influx starting in mid-2020.

The internet has transformed political discourse, enabling extremist communities to flourish. While research has primarily focused on right-wing radicalization, left-wing extremism—particularly the "tankie" movement—remains underexplored. This section reviews existing studies on online extremism, highlights the imbalance in research focus, and argues for a more comprehensive analysis of all forms of digital radicalization.

This research presents the first large-scale study of the far-left on social media, with a focus on the tankie community. Using 1.3M posts from 53K authors, we analyze their position within the broader far-left, their vocabulary, toxicity levels, disinformation tactics, and their response to deplatforming. The study finds that tankies exhibit behaviors similar to right-wing extremists, including high toxicity and organized platform migration.

Liquidity is gained from liquidity providers, which are no longer specializing in providing liquidity.

Django transactions rely on database locks to prevent conflicts when multiple users modify data simultaneously. PostgreSQL has two primary lock types: table locks (high impact, risky) and row locks (lower risk, but can escalate). Poor lock management can cause slow queries, increased latency, and deadlocks. Use Django’s SQL migration tools to identify potential risks and minimize transaction time for optimal performance.
