Tankie is a term reserved for very specifically people who defend the Soviet Union in the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia

Why Czechoslovakia? The term originally came from Hungary

I mean, it's both. Hungary was the upper cut and Czech was the right hook. But regardless, if you don't have a blind allegiance to just any state calling itself socialist, then you probably aren't a Tankie, right?
