The only self-described "tankies" are Marxist-Leninists being tongue-in-cheek, like those who call themselves commies.
I wouldn't be so sure. There are definitely authoritarian lefties, no matter how back asswards it seems.
"Authoritarianism" isn't really a thing. What ultimately matters is which class in society has control of the state, and that determines how it responds to class conflicts. What determines the strength of state force in those conflicts is the circumstances society is found in, not the whims of random individuals.
