People that Stan authoritarian countries. The term comes from when the USSR crushed liberation movements with tanks in the Republics and many western communists approved of the crushing. People who love China, Russia, Assad’s Syria, etc are tankies.
More specifically, Stalinist/Maoist/any-other-„communist“-tyrant-ist. It refers specifically to people who excuse/deny tyranny and oppression caused by anyone who calls themselves communist.
As I said, communists/Marxists. Marx was an “authoritarian” socialist, and by far the largest strain of Marxism in the world is “Stalinism,” aka Marxism-Leninism, the second largest probably being Marxism-Leninism-Maoism.
And, as I said, it’s derogatory, which suggests the people saying it view such strains of thought as “tyrannical.” So no part of your correction was at all necessary.
Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.

Makes sense. Tyvm
Derogatory term accusing someone of being a communist/Marxist.

No, it’s specifically authoritarian communists https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie
The term is used outside that scope frequently.

Just avoid the Tankie Triad (.ml, hex and grad) and you’ll be fine
I think hexbear.net is expired, so hexbear straight up isn’t an option atm.
EDIT: it’s back up, as cm0002 pointed out.
