Tankies are the intellectual equivalent and ideological opposite of libertarians. And nobody that isn't in high school should be ascribing to either.

    At that point we have to get into the weeds about whether we're talking about American "libertarians" or libertarian on the global scale.

    My understanding is proper, globally-defined libertarianism is the exact opposite of authoritarianism, which yes, is a critical piece of the auth-left AKA "tankies." But on that scale, they'd also be in direct opposition to fascism.

    Contrast that to American libertarians, which tend to just be pot-smoking Republicans (because the US leans right in general).

    TL;DR: Left-libertarians exist, but they're a rounding error in the US compared to right-libertarians.
