"Tankie" is just a pejorative that anti-communists use for Marxism-leninists.
The developers of lemmy are Marxist-leninist communists.
Marxist-Leninists aren't communists. They're Stalinists. Authoritarians.
Marxism-leninism was first synthesized by Stalin. Stalinism isn't a thing, but Stalin was a Marxist-leninist. Stalin was a Communist. Marx was an authoritarian communist as well.
"tankie" is just a red-scare pejorative for communists.
