No, you’re not wrong. They’re muddying meaning of the word “tankie.”

“Tankie” does not mean “commie.” Not all commies are tankies.

    That is reductionist and overly simplistic. Just because they are all pejorative does not mean their meaning is identical. Not all communists are “tankies.”

    (But I know very well we need to agree to disagree on this, because I don’t think there’s any value in trying to convince you.)
