    A tankie is anyone to the left of whoever is using the pejorative. Usually because they expressed a critique of imperialism, or aren’t sufficiently racist towards the Chinese.

      This seems to be how I see it used most. I usually stick to calling people tankies when they walk around explicitly talking about how proud they are to be one.
