Your own comment above basically supports the definition of tankie. Specifically, this:
I would take issue with the single word 'fascist' that @[email protected] is using, as the government doesn't need to be full-on fascist to it qualify for tankies to defend it. It only needs to be illiberal with a socialist legacy or nominally left-leaning government. So the definition is more broad than what figaro defines. But all the elements of Figaro's defintion are literally there in your own linked Wikipedia article.
