Nothing tankie about this. Do conservatives just use it as a kind of slur because they heard progressives using it?
It's (basically) used to describe communists that still support authoritarian regimes such as the ussr, China, and north korea
Yeah, basically
I've not really heard conservatives use it, mostly lefties who want to distance themselves as far as they can from it.
