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.
Tankie isn’t a communist invention, it’s brittish IIRC ?
You know there were british communists? It was a term for people that defended USSR breaking the Hungarian uprising with tanks, hence the name. A modern day tankie even told me that everyone killed by those tanks was a nazi, actually
Yeah I know.
And of course, everyone killed by glorious leaders is of course by definition bad!! /s
