Used to describe a member of a Communist subculture on the internet who genuinely believes that countries such as China and North Korea are global champions of social justice and Communist utopias. The group has particular traction amongst 2nd generation Asian migrants in the west who incorporate these regimes into their own identity struggles.
If you believe China is a global force for anti-racism and equality, and put a hammer and sickle in your twitter handle, you're a Tankie.
