By what definition of fascism are tankies the same?

I’ve seen the term tankie more here in my last week in the fediverse than at any other time in my life so forgive me if I don’t fully understand. From what I’ve gathered, it’s extreme auth-left. Though being authoritarian does not automatically mean fascist.

They're not the same but the more you ignore motive and rationale the more similar they look. As such, they're the same by the "definition" of shallow analysis, or over-subscribing to "the purpose of a system is what it does" which I tend to be guilty of.
