    Not sure if that was a joke or a sincere lack of familiarity. What tankies want is a restoration and supremacy of the USSR to spread what they called communism.

      Nah, Im just not familiar with them. I keep seeing people referring to them, but never saying exactly what their deal is. Even back on reddit.

          I believe the specific moment was when the USSR used tanks to crack down on peaceful protesters in Czechoslovakia; supporters were called tankies.
