Well they seem clearly anticommunist
Tankies are authoritarians. You know what they meant.
Tankies are whatever the user or the word wants it to mean. Plenty of liberals use it to mean anyone left of Bernie (although I've even seen it used about Bernie for his comments on Cuba and because he visited the USSR). So no I don't.
I also find the word authoritarian to be unhelpful and nonspecific in many of the instances it's used when referring to communists
