Generally not. Anarchists and Marxists want separate goals and have separate means, but Liberalism is a separate ideology.

I'm aware, I've just never heard/seen a liberal use the word "tankie"- though I don't often expose myself to liberals... Are libs actually using that word now? I would literally laugh out loud at the hypocrisy if I witnessed that

I've seen many I definitely don't think are Anarchists use it, and I've even seen Anarchists and Liberals get labeled "tankies." It's a generic term used like BadEmpanada is referring to, a largely meaningless catch-all for Leftists.

That is whack; thanks for sharing

No problem. There are many on Lemmy.world for sure who use it that way, same with Reddit.
