so tankie is just a nonsense word?
It can be misused, but it properly means supporting authoritarian 'communism'. I usually see it on hexbear, where they often say Russia China and North Korea are vastly better than western countries.

Nonsense catch-all word to put down Marxist-Leninists, and any leftist seriously advocating for revolution.
It means authoritarian socialist, more specifically those who support Stalinist ideals
