I recognize that the group called tankies is the group of people that supports the DPRK, PRC, Vietnam, Laos, and Cuba, and I support them, so I belong to the group called tankies. I’m self-aware of that, so don’t pretend my support for these countries isn’t going to get me called a tankie.

Tankie is just anyone to the left of burning orphans for warmth. It’s also a nazi dogwhistle.

That’s tankie propaganda, which seems to be the whole reason for you creating your account.
Tankies are the violent authoritarian wing of socialists, who believe liberals, landlords, bankers, intellectuals, etc. should be put to death. Stalin, Mao, etc.
They’re kinda like fascists as far as loving violence and purging their undesirables except the boot is a different flavor:
“We will live in a utopia if you merely give us the power to kill everyone we dislike!”

That’s the nazi propaganda being dogwhistled, yes.

No it isn’t. Facts that you don’t like aren’t automatically propaganda.
Yesterday when we talked about what exactly you believe as far as Stalin, Mao, et al., you just diverted into ad hominem rather than answer the question.

Psychotic comment, what the actual fuck is wrong with you?

I don’t see how disliking tankies is psychotic, but you’re more than welcome to explain if you feel like it.
