There is a healthy and honest way to appreciate communism, Russia, the CCP and even DPRK.

Agreed

And then there are people who are completely shilling the CCP Russia DPRK as communist uptopias. These people are tankies.

I would agree with you, if you simply called them dumbasses instead of using the equivalent of “woke” that’s virtually meaningless now. I have seen communists, anarchists, liberals, and even Zelensky being branded as “tankies”
