I’ve run across these terms several times, but without enough context to figure out what they mean. Could someone help me out, please?

ETA All of you are amazing! A huge thank you to everyone who responded, and an extra thank you to those who have provided links or explanations to further and/or related information. I am learning so much by reading all of these comments!

    Macron is using violence to deal with the opposition is France, he would be a tankie by your current definition.

    Netanyahu is a dictator, Biden would be a tankie by your definition, as he supports Netanyahu.

    Tankie is pejorative for “far-left”, that’s it, it’s an insult.

    Btw, I have deliberately ignored references to left/right as meaningless in my quest for information.

    You can’t do that, this is strictly about politics.
