They are tankies
I am thinking about tanks, explain.
The iconic Tiananmen square "Tank man" photo, where one guy stands in front of a column of tanks on their way to slaughter pro-democracy protesters, briefly stopping them. Tankies are lunatics that wish for authoritarian communism and so unironically support the tanks running him over.
Not the origin of the word.
This dates back to Hungarian revolution in 1956 and tanks being deployed by USSR.
