If you mean tankie in the sense of vanguard ism, then no.
Luxemburgists are still generally counted as "tankie," in that "tankie" is generally just a pejorative for communist akin to "commie" or "pinko."
I dunno, I’ve never been called a tankie, but maybe that’s just because I inhabit far left spaces .
I suppose if you spend your time denouncing AES you'd be spared, but if you're in far-left spaces you'd be called a lib instead for doing so.
I don’t do the denouncing AES westcom thing tho… I just don’t talk about the more controversial topics I guess because here the answer is always yes and in non-far-left spaces the answer is always no. There’s no real need to debate things like the DPRK for me.
Most liberals would likely call you a tankie regardless.
I cannot confirm nor deny this as I have no evidence of this happening nor the experience of constant interaction within liberal social media. I never used twitter and such.
