To borrow a segment from Wikipedia, Tankie specifically refers to those who might speak out in defense of the Soviet use of tanks to crush the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the 1968 Prague Spring uprising.
I've, on occasion spoken favorably of specific USSR policies or of specific Warsaw Pact or NATO policies without intending to show approval of militant or imperialist policies, which has gotten me accused ot being a Tankie of Atlantism and being kicked of subreddits.
