What is a Tankie? The term tankie has seen several shifts in its connotation over the years. Originally, it was a pejorative label for communists who supported the Soviet Union’s interventions in Hungary and Czechoslovakia. Yet, its contemporary application is much broader. Today, the term refers not only to pro-Soviet hardliners but also to those who back China’s policies on matters such as the Uyghur genocide and the Hong Kong protests. A recent study by Petterson portrays tankies as: “regard[ing] past and current socialist systems as legitimate attempts at creating communism, and thus have not distanced themselves from Stalin, China etc.”
Just pathetic. What is this CIA-ass website? I've never seen or heard of it before.
Anyway, extremism is when you take a principled stance against verifiable, undeniable genocide

My problem is the amount of heavy lifting done by that "etc.". If you don't want to be an authoritarian tankie you have to distance yourself from a person, a country and stuff like that.
Yes please distance yourself from me... and my dog... and from space travel as the USSR pioniered that... and Liaka why not she was a Soviet dog... Also Tetris, that was a soviet game so you have to hate that... um am I missing anything?
