Oh wow, that's pretty definitive. Looks like the meaning I've understood is correct -- according to Wikipedia at least (which I tend to trust).
@Linkerbaan@lemmy.world what do you think? It looks like you may be misusing the term.
I think the term does not mean what it meant a long time ago as even the Wikipedia article states that there's already like 7 definitions of it. The original definition is not even related to the Tank Man which is its most popular reference these days.
I see no reason to for the arbitrary limitation to only call Communists Tankies as we could also start a semantics discussion that China and Russia aren't exactly communist countries anymore.
