Since we're counting to ten:
Classic tankies are the authoritarian leaning communists, that is communists willing to use (military) power to accomplish their goals and will voice those more aggressive sounding opinions.
Ah, thank you!
No, that's not true. Authoritarians can't be communist, because communism is stateless. You mean authoritarian socialists.
Read On Authority by Engles.
Read The Player of Games by Banks
EDIT: Okay so I actually read the first three paragraphs, and no. On Authority isn't relevant. Engels is using a different definition of authoritarian than I am.
