The Hungary schlock they refer to was of course a gladio-style CIA backed color revolution in which Hungarian fascist death squads were purging Jews, Roma, and Communists.
Awesome! Cool! Dope!

"Tankie" is a completely meaningless term, so no problem.
it is a slander leveled at anyone who talks about what the USA has been up to since 1776, but it is especially used against people who talk about US-backed fascist coups, or people who are willing to admit "controversial figures" on the left did anything good in their lives (usually Lenin and Stalin and Mao, but I've seen "tankie" even leveled at defenders of Thomas Sankara, Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Hugo Chavez, Nicolas Maduro, or Evo Morales)
It is a slander aimed at anyone vaguely doing or saying anything correct that threatens the establishment.
It will evolve to antifa levels of uselessness. And anarchists who previously got called antifa will get called tankies when they protest anything even slightly militantly.
:tankie: is sad...
