"Tankie" isn't a synonym for "leftist;" it's about authoritarianism specifically. Solarpunk is the opposite of "tankie!"
Communism is authoritarianism by definition.
What happens if a worker decides he doesn't want to work?
Every person has their needs met, even if they don't want to work. Capitalism is artificially creating scarcity to keep profits up. We can create a world where everyone has their needs met by the few that want to provide those needs. That world does not require a state.

Nowhere, because communism hasn't been realized yet.
China.
