In case you havent been here long enough to know what a Tankie is, on top of what everyone else has shared: A Tankie is a Communist who thinks Russia and China have done nothing wrong, they'll try and make you think we call ALL communists/left leaning people Tankies, but no, the Tank part of Tankie comes from shit like Tiananmen Square where they used tanks to destroy their political opposition, and Tankies are perfectly fine with this/claim shit like Tiananmen Square is propoganda.

Tldr: Communist/Socialists/leftists who arent a fan of Russia and China's dictatorial tendencies? Not a Tankie. Communist who'll defend Russia and China to the point of thinking maybe Ukraine deserves to be invaded and that Taiwan should be absorbed by China? Tankie

Edit: Even more TL:Dr? They're the leftist version of a Nazi Brony

Edit the third: Tankies, downvotes by you hold as much meaning as a downvote on youtube does.. I saw the downvote count go from 1-6 in 15 minutes so you could make it look like as much people disagreed with me as agreed
