A tankie is a leftist/communist

No, they like to claim they are communists, in the same way Hitler claimed to be a socialist, and the Kim family claim to be republicans for peoples' democracy.

Tankies are authoritarians.

Communism is inherently incompatible with authoritarianism.

I'm curious if you've followed the sources on that article. There's a few that are decent, but a good chunk of them are further articles and opinion pieces written by socdems and establishment liberals, which probably isn't the best thing for a trans instance that heavily pushes socialism, anarchism, and communism.
