This is the def I'm familiar with, largely used to say, "That person is stupid bc they believe communism as practised by the USSR and/or PRC will save us all." Like, MINISTRY FOR THE FUTURE could be called a tankie novel because communist China is the ultimately saviour of the world from environmental disaster at the end of the book. To be fair, I've mostly heard anarchists say it that way, and anarchist and Marxists have deeply held distain for each other.
