Obviously, they need to be educated as just ignoring or attacking them isn't going to change their views. But, they shouldn't be allowed to spread there hate online or offline.
The difference, of course, is that tankies are ostensibly on our "side". They might not be the best of folks, they're often the worst of folks, but they're our folks.
To plagiarise somone much smarter than me, The people that any ostensible leftist is obligated to stand up for will not always be likable. Usually they won’t even be leftists. They will have different politics, values and cultures than you. They will overcook their steaks. They will enjoy, and perhaps even prefer, the later seasons of The Simpsons. They will make atrocious decisions in facial hair, which you will suspect they styled in a pretentious effort to look “more ethnic.” They will act in bad faith. They will have bad manners. They will be dull, they will be snobs. They will get on your fucking nerves.
but, well, they're us.
Come down from there, you're on too many levels of left unity.
