Communists are far-left, and are the polar opposite of the far-right, what's right-wing isn't determined soley by whoever you personally dislike.
So you're saying that tankies=communists?
Kinda, in the same way "commie" and "pinko" are pejoratives for communists like "tankie" is. It's just a way for anti-communists to hurl insults towards communists, and some communists have now jokingly begun referring to themselved as tankies as a response. It's meaningless beyond the fact that it's a pejorative.
‘Horseshoe theory’ is nonsense – the far right and far left have little in common
