It is your choice to fall for and participate in bourgeois language abuse.
That sounds rather nihilistic. If it doesn’t matter, why bother having an opinion in the first place? You sound trapped in the sports-politics schema, as if politics can only happen in a Bushesque “you are with or against us” manner. I admire what the Chinese regime has achieved in the past few decades, by not only lifting hundred of millions of people out of poverty, but also preparing China, and in a way the world, for a brighter future. However, that doesnt mean I blindly support their management of public discourse, or expansionist tendencies in South China Sea, stealing territories from Vietnam and the Philippines, for example.
No, while the term “tankie” is used diversely, and some probably use it as you described, the essence of the term is simply a supporter of old school authoritarian “communism”. Think Marxist-Lennist ideologies as experienced under and in the post-Stalin soviets. Tankies love to downplay N Korea’s crimes, as if if denouncing both South and North political establishments is impossible.
Not according to “tankies” :D They love shiny boots holding a red flag. They just hate brown flags, but love a good boot-liking
No. But, tell us, what part of the post are you struggling most with comprehending? The “antiauthoritarian” part?


Who are you comparing to an anti-semite?
