Then there's folks like me who have no idea what the term means, you're not alone in your confusion.

Edit: thanks for all the replies folks! TIL

Tankies are 'communists' ala Mao and Stalin, i.e. okay with the violent opression of democratic movements and minorities.

At the end of the day, who gets to decide what the ideal "Worker's Paradise" looks like? You? Me? Tankies are convinced that their vision is correct and will broker no compromise

Any 'Worker's Paradise' wherin the freedom of speech is curtailed and protestors are shot in the streets isn't one I want to live in.
