MODERATORS
They are communists of the authoritarian vanguard party kind (known as marxism-leninism). There's different brands of socialism - some, like anarchists, prefer socialism to be focused around unions and decentralized aid groups, while others focus around using governments and vanguard parties. Tankies are of the latter variety
They're the kind of people to deny genocides of communist government
So they are basically saying they would like to live under the regime of Stalin back in the day(or a modern analog). A society where it didn't matter how left your were, or how correct you had been living all your life. If you were "in the way" for someone important with connections you and maybe your entire familie goes to the gulag.
I mean, it's not like they think that's how it was in the USSR.
