"Tankie" is a pejorative used to refer to people who support certain authoritarian socialist states, such as the former Soviet Union, or contemporary countries like China or North Korea, and are often supportive of Marxist-Leninist ideology. And I'm aware of the historical meaning, originating in 1956 when Soviet tanks rolled into Hungary to suppress the uprising, but even then it was used to refer to Marxist-Leninist who supported the Soviet Union.
