Tankie has nothing to do with "Stalinism" even (which is not a thing). When the USSR sent tanks to Hungary which the term originally referred to, Stalin had already been dead for years.
Tankie originated specifically western Europe as a pejorative for the left that supported the Soviet Union putting down a counter-revolutionary uprising in Hungary in 1956.
