"Tankie is a pejorative label for leftists, particularly Stalinists, who support the authoritarian tendencies of Marxism–Leninism or, more generally, authoritarian states associated with Marxism–Leninism in history."

I wouldn't consider that synonymous with "woke" from any direction of the political spectrum

A “tankie” is an apologist or a denier of Stalinist, Khmer Rouge, Maoist, etc. crimes against humanity.
