Stalin was dead at the time. The Soviet Union was technically under Krushchev, but the Politburo made the decision without his approval. It caused a rupture in Communist Parties all over the West, but it was still mostly MLs being called tankies by other MLs. Some on the forming Maoist anti-revisionist side considered it to be a "Kruschchevite" crime ironically.
If you say anything even slightly critical of US foreign policy, the war in Ukraine, or anything positive or even neutral about China or critical of the soon to be war in the Taiwan straits there's about a 50/50 chance that someone will appear to call you a tankie.
The Libs taking 'Tankie' for themselves should have clued us in.
I haven't seen that one in the wild. So do they get forced to admit stalin's decision to send the tanks into Hungary has been vindicated by history?
Lol no libs think it references china because of tank man
