1 Communists who are anti-american imperialism to the extent that they defend cartoonishly bad people/countries as long as they claim to be socialist and challenged the interests of the U.S. or some other western nation. They can be found defending Joseph Stalin, Bashar al-Assad, and North Korea.

It began as an insult to members of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB), who supported the Soviet Union's response to the Hungarian Revolution (1956) and the Prague Spring in Czechoslovakia (1968)

2 People who fetishize the aesthetics of 20th century socialist states and treat communism like a social group rather than a political ideology; not everyone who calls themself communist on Twitter is a tankie.
Tankie: "I try not to argue with people Lenin would have shot."
T: "Come back after you've read theory, radlib."
T: "Happy birthday, Stalin! 🎉🎊"

Phoebe Tonkin by Thebestperosnnn February 19, 2021
A nickname given to a very independent girl. She can learn almost anything fairly quickly, and understands more things than others. She is a wonderful friend, because she may try too hard to make someone else happy. It's normalized of Tonie to put other people's feelings in place of her own, and in situations like these she may succumb to vulnerable moments and get hit with too many emotions at once. She is considerably hard working, and is trust-worthy. She is the type of girl to get things done, and does not want to disappoint her peers. She is extremely kind, and silly. She has too much fun, but learns to back off or slow down if it comes to her attention to do so. She is an abnormal girl to understand, but a Tonie is normalized to have these traits.
I have to sit next to Tonie in biology, and I wouldn't want it any other way. She almost set the class on fire!
