The term “tankie” originates from British psuedo-communists who supported the USSR using tanks against the Hungarian resistance, notably civilians, to impose their authoritarian and colonial rule upon them.

So you didn’t even bother to read what you’re replying to. The Hungarian civilians in question were bourgeois- & CIA-backed fascist counter-insurgents.
