Tankies and the soviet union aren't the same thing though.

I mean, the term literally originates as a label for British socialists/communists that were sympathetic to the USSR when they were invading Hungary (pretty sure it was Hungary?)

defining the USSR in this way (by acts performed under specific leaders) is like defining the USA based on Reaganism or Nixonism or Bushism
