Tankie is not a term for a hard line Stalinist. A tankie CAN be a hard line Stalinist. But it's more accurately described as anyone vaguely left wing who does not unquestionably believe State Department propaganda.
It used to be a hard line Stalinist descriptor though. Back in 2020 it might still have meant something like that. The word entered common public vocabulary pretty recently and has quickly devolved in meaning since then
The first time I saw Social Justice Warrior in use, it hadn't yet been appropriated by the right. At the time, it referred to what we today call an online larper or clout chaser with left aesthetics
It used to be Kruschevite before that.
