Tankie is authoritarian “communism”. Tankies tend to support the brutal regimes of Stalin, Mao, and more recent Russian imperialism such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Needless to say these regimes supported by tankies are far from the communism envisioned by people like Marx, which was achieved much more closesly in anarcho-communist revolutions, such as the Ukraine’s anarchist territories and the Paris Commune.
I still believe you are needlessly reducing the scope of that word to only communists. Many blood thristy supporters are “tankies”, while being fascist, or simply dumb
“Tankie” means supporting Russian invasion into Ukraine, not “a communist”
