What is a tankie?
Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes or their allies. More specifically, the term has been applied to those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics, whether contemporary or historical.

There are texts describing what “dictatorship of the proletariat” means. Dictatorship had a specific meaning at the time and people’s perception on what it means has changed. That does not mean the meaning of “dictatorship of the proletariat” has changed, which is, by the way, something you brought up to prove that communism == dictatorship. You’ve been arguing against yourself this whole thread.
