What definition of left-wing do they use to call tankies left-wing? I don’t know of any that would align with authoritarianism, which obviously entails inequality and significantly limited civil liberties. Other than that, it’s a good, though short piece. It would be great to see more research or reporting on the subject.
Left-wing means anti-capitalist. This usually comes packaged with being either pro-socialism or pro-communism or both, and the tankies do usually tend to be pro-communism. They just differ from us on all the other stuff

Left wing was anti monarchy. Take a guess at who tries to reframe that.
