    I have actually found the “tankie” moniker to be useful IRL:

    Tell someone you’re a Marxist-Leninist and you just get a blank stare.

    Tell someone you’re a socialist and they think you mean you’re simpatico with AOC and Bernie.

    Tell someone you’re a communist and they will just shut down and not hear anything else you say.

    But “tankie” seems to convey enough truth - that you support past and current efforts from AES states to build socialism - to be useful.
