And during the Macartist times authoritarian lefties called themselves "communist".

The point being that back them with "communist" and "commie" as now with "tankies", other people who are not authoritarian lefties are also being labelled by their politicial adversaries with their nickname for authoritarian lefties.

I'm shocked I've had to explain the same thing thrice now.
