Isn't tankie a pejorative?
Liberals still use it as such ig. It was originally used by the british communist party against anyone who supported sending in tanks to crush the capitalist rallies in Hungary.
These days though it's used for all communists so much so that they'd absolutely call Nelson Mandela a tankie if he was alive right now (cuz he bombed railways and the apartheid government, supported and worked with the communist Cuban gov, USSR, etc) so most commies don't mind it anymore.
Not all communists are tankies.
Probably not in the original sense, but any communist or leftist in general who shows support for any successful socialist project or previous or ongoing revolutionary movements are labelled "tankies" these days. The distinction doesn't really matter anymore.
