The oppression used in a socialist state is intended to be focused on the bourgeois and those who support counter-revolution
The operative word being “intended”. Defending regimes that turn that focus to the proletariat is part of what distinguishes a tankie from an actual leftist.
No communist “wants” a state
Which is why only consider tankies to be nominally left. I don’t consider them to be real communists.
I have given the definition at least once, and linked the Wikipedia page where it is well defined. Some people using the word incorrectly doesn’t mean it isn’t well defined.

Tankie isn’ that well defined, it just means “I don’t like you, a leftist.”
