That's the problem with using such a simplistic term to label people. I think when we say left or right it would be useful to specify which spectrum we're referring to. So if I'd try to define a "tankie", I would say that they are extreme left on the economical spectrum and extreme right on the liberty-authority spectrum.

extreme left on the economical spectrum

You cannot be this while praising China or Russia

I've tried telling them that China is the biggest capitalist country in the world. They didn't like that...

In the US companies run the government. In China the government is the company.
