Definition of tankies
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie
Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.


To everyone who struggles with their left and right, take solace in the fact you’re better at telling the difference than tankies. No, the authoritarian dictatorship with anti-LGBT policies is NOT “left-wing”. Just because you call yourself communist doesn’t mean you actually are.
If they could read anything that isn’t made by dead cishet dictators they’d be very upset right now.
At least its better than the people who cannot comprehend that hitler can lie
