    The hammer and sickle is a socialist symbol, of which tankies are a tiny subset, if you’re even using the word correctly (to mean people who unironically support everything authoritarian communist regimes do), which I doubt on the basis of your ‘knowledge’ of socialist symbols. Also I’m an anarchist, and while we have our disagreements, I’ve never been called a liberal by anyone on the left.

      The symbol originates from Soviet Union, and was adopted by other “socialist” regimes around the world, so I guess describing it as a ‘symbol of authoritarian socialist regimes’ would be more accurate idk
