Yeah tankies are just authoritarian apologists specifically for Stalin and Mao types

I've seen like 20 different interpretations of "tankie" on lemmy since moving over here from reddit last year, never heard it before that and I'm a pretty political person.

Tankies comes from the word tank obv. More specifically it comes from the tanks the soviets and China used to suppress popular uprisings. People who support these regimes and these actions or try to minimize their terror are tankies.
