    I thought that the line was that one supports owning the means of production and the other supports authoritarian governments, am I confused?

      Socialists support some form of Workers owning the Means of Production, of various types.

      Communists are Marxists, that advocate for a specific form of Socialism, a worker state, that will eventually result in a Stateless, Classless, Moneyless society.

      Tankie has been used to slander all manner of leftists, but the number of people that actually fit the definition of the slander is very small. Many people who do not fit that actual definition are still called a tankie.
