I know for a lot of people a tankie is just something that they know it when they see it, however I think that it is important to think about the reason that you define something as being tankie vs just a leftist.

right leaning or authoritarian fucks who idolize dictatory governments while still describing themselves as left

for example, someone who idolizes the ussr and sees nothing wrong with it, and thinks of it as communism despite it just being a veiled capitalist dictatorship
