What is a tankie?

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes or their allies. More specifically, the term has been applied to those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics, whether contemporary or historical.

      The original comment you responded to was about the definition of tankie:

      [I]t is the Soviet Union did nothing wrong in 1956 definition.

      And then you started talking about the United States.
