A tankie is anyone to the left of whoever is using the pejorative. Usually because they expressed a critique of imperialism, or aren't sufficiently racist towards the Chinese.

This seems to be how I see it used most. I usually stick to calling people tankies when they walk around explicitly talking about how proud they are to be one.

Anyone you see self identifying as a tankie is just fucking around because of how meaningless the term is. If you want to insult a Marxist try directly engaging with whatever it is they're saying that annoys you. You might even learn something along the way.
