I have separate distinctions between "Tankie" and communist.

Communism, true communism as explained by Marx. Classless, stateless. NO ELITE CLASS This is the goal. This is good.

Tankies seem to just want Putin or Xi to rule the world. Or are capitalists LARPing as what they think commies are in effort to troll. Probably both with some true believers filtering in over time. Sorta like the origins of r/The_Donald and flat earth theory.

TLDR Communism != Tankie
