Tankieism

The term "Tankie" originated from people supporting the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union. Nowadays "Tankie" has become a pejorative for someone (usullay from a western country) who defends or idolizes authoritarian and nominally "socialist" regimes due to opposition to western imperialism. Tankies are generally very dismissive of multi-party democracy and hold favorable views towards Marxist-Leninist one-party states such as the Soviet Union, China, Cuba, and Vietnam which they consider "true democracies."
