Originally it was a label Trotskyites used to criticize Stalinists (aka ML's). A bit of inter-communist sectarianism.

But now we're 30+ years after the fall of the USSR, so its definition has spiraled into any westerner who opposes western imperialism. For example: an anarchist might use it to criticize an ML outright cheering Russian victories in Ukraine. In turn, a liberal will use it to criticize the same anarchist for opposing NATO.

This used to happen to me all the time. I would start talking about imperialism and I’d get called a tankie and told to fuck off. No longer consider myself an anarchist but still.
