I've always thought "Tankie" meant apologists for Strong Man Authoritarian Dictators/Dictatorships.

The people they defend are in no way "Left." That's a holdover from 80's Reagan "Commies are Leftists" propaganda.

Uh. I'm gonna let you in on a little secret mate. Commies ARE leftist.

God, this is what happens when people don't actually read even basic leftist literature.

Please. Grab some books. Stop getting all your information from Lemmy/Reddit.
