Wouldn’t go that far. Actual communists may not be as reflexively “West Bad” as tankies, but generally have a negative view of Western-led international initiatives like NATO.
And the name we designate these “communists” are tankies or MLs (Marxist-Lenninists). They are only communist in name and believe in authoritarian ideals like what is happening in China or Russia.
Those people are not considered communists by actual communists. Actual communists are in favor of NATO.

Communism is a threat to western civilization. NATO was created to collectively defend against communists.
That’s just a “no true scottsman” fallacy.
