    Yep. A Tankie is someone who claims to be leftist but then defends all actions by governments and countries who claim to be leftist too.

      Tankies don’t even need that. They just need the country to not be part of NATO and its allies. See their support for Russia, despite Russia being straight-up right-wing authoritarian with no pretence to leftism.
