Maybe you should balance it out with a more nuanced take. Not everyone who is left of a liberal is pro dictator. Tankie is typically a term liberals who doesn’t understand leftisms use to group it all together with a derogatory meaning.
There are certainly brain dead bootlicking marxists or MLM’s but someone who thinks a communist or ML utopian society is possible is not a tankie.
I would say a tankie is more authoritarian apologist, but it is more meaningless than anything.
Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.
Yea, “authoritarianism praiser” is too unwieldy, maybe I could balance it out with “authoritarianist”?

Yes but you apply it freely to anyone who is left of liberal… not my or the wiki definition.
I apply it where it’s justified, Yogthos is infamous for it, along with davel and head honcho themself dessalines
.ml is labeled a tankie instance because dessalines and davel are admins who censor any non-tankie dissent/speech
