Dunking on Tankies from a leftist perspective.
A tankie is someone who defends/supports authoritarian or even totalitarian regimes who call themselves "socialist". The term originated from people supporting the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union. Nowadays they are just terminally online, denying genocides, and falling for totalitarian propaganda and calling such regimes "true democracies". remember to censor usernames when necessary.

I feel like it's a little difficult to say without knowing what exactly the goals of the group is and how what they say ties back to it.
To be frank, I'm not looking to get into that discussion. From what I've seen of those groups they seem to be very pro Russia and ignoring various issues that paint Russia in a bad light and that's not a mindset I can get behind.
