    I just think it’s funny that capitalist states like the US or Israel fit your definition equally as well if not more so than socialist states like the USSR or the PRC. “Supports using state violence against civilians in certain specific circumstances” is such a vague definition that it could be practically applied to supporters of any state, it’s so generic it’s useless.

    If you want a more accurate definition, just say “tankies” are Marxist-Leninists or supporters of AES countries. At least that makes sense and is specific. Less critical and derogatory though, which I suppose goes against the intention of the term.
