    Essentially a perjorative for authoritarian communists. The types of people who uncritically glorify the Soviet Union (and depending on which one you’re talking to, the Russian Federation as well), the People’s Republic of China, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, etc. Here’s a page on Wikipedia about it.

      By that definition, there aren’t many Tankies on this platform at all. I haven’t seen a single person uncritically glorifying any of those states.
