    “Tankie” is just a pejorative for communist, akin to “commie, pinko, and red.” It’s a caricature, not an actual ideological position.

      Well, yes. In its caricature it still puts a focus in people who defend any state that calls itself communist in defiance of their institutional violence. So its not just any commi being a tankie
