I just think it’s funny that you’re trying to flex your oh so superior knowledge about what’s literally 101 level communism.

Listen I was just being snarky and reactive. I jumped in here and started moshing around with no context.

Tankie is a term that specifically refers to one particular kind of communism; namely, the kind that supports authoritarian regimes that try to impose communism through the use of force to repress dissent.
