Welcome to Lemmy.

Tap for some copy-pasta from wikipediaTankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes or their allies.
More specifically, the term has been applied to those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics, whether contemporary or historical. It is commonly used by anti-authoritarian leftists, including anarchists, libertarian socialists, left communists, democratic socialists, and reformists to criticise Leninism, although the term has seen increasing use by liberal and right‐wing factions as well.[5][6]

You'll also see them around here commonly blaming anything negative on "capitalism" as well (while ignoring the fact that pure capitalism doesn't exist since the economy of almost every country is really a mix of capitalism and socialism).
