what's a tankie?
Typically a communist who apologizes for authoritarian regimes like the Soviet Union or China because they got communist shit done.
In other words, they prefer communism even when it means the abject suffering and/or obliteration of everyone who gets in its way. Which seems to me to completely miss the whole point.
