Tankies are authoritarians, they aren't allies. Historically they're the ones killing leftists as soon as they gain power.
By defeating Tsarism, Nazism and doubling life expectancy, Bolsheviks actually saved tens of millions of leftist lives. In the same sense that you probably (hopefully) support Palestine even if right now they're not very socially progressive regarding leftism, LGBT and women's rights, you may understand why a state under the threat of Nazism invading went through serious disturbances.
